Weather in May
Temperature
As May begins, there's a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 80.2°F (26.8°C) in April to a tropical 86°F (30°C). In the month of May, an average of 69.8°F (21°C) marks the low-temperature.Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
