Weather in May
Temperature
The onset of May brings a minor temperature shift, with the average high-temperature moving from 75.2°F (24°C) in April to a still moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C). Throughout May, a minimal difference from peak daytime temperatures is noted, marking a steady low-temperature average of 74.3°F (23.5°C).Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Continuous exposure and activity could induce a sense of tiredness and subsequently, heat cramps.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
