Weather in May
Temperature
May showcases a minor temperature ascent, adjusting from April's 74.3°F (23.5°C) to a still warm 81.1°F (27.3°C). The nighttime temperature, during May, averages of 63.9°F (17.7°C).Heat index
In May, the heat index is computed to be a hot 86°F (30°C). Continuous activity in exposure could lead to a feeling of fatigue and heat cramps.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. 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 kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
