Weather in May
Temperature
As April transitions into May, a subtle temperature shift is observed, with average highs adjusting from 75.9°F (24.4°C) to a still moderately hot 84.2°F (29°C). May nights experience a consistent temperature drop to a comfortable 63.3°F (17.4°C).Heat index
The heat index for May is estimated at a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
