Weather in May
Temperature
The beginning of May signals a minor rise in the average high-temperature, moving from 76.3°F (24.6°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.6°F (28.1°C). During May, the average low-temperature is recorded at an enjoyable 64.6°F (18.1°C).Heat index
During May, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Ongoing exposure and activity could lead to a state of exhaustion, with a chance of heat cramps.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
