May, the last month of the spring in Palestine, is another warm month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 83.3°F (28.5°C) and an average low of 64°F (17.8°C).

Temperature

The arrival of May introduces a minor uplift in high-temperatures, adjusting from a moderately hot 76.3°F (24.6°C) in April to a still warm 83.3°F (28.5°C). Throughout the month of May, Palestine observes an average nighttime temperature of 64°F (17.8°C).

Heat index

The average heat index in May is calculated to be a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for 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.
