Weather in May
Temperature
May's onset is marked by a subtle temperature increase, moving from a moderately hot 79.2°F (26.2°C) in April to a still warm 84.9°F (29.4°C). Sonora observes an average nighttime low-temperature of 64.9°F (18.3°C) during the month of May.Heat index
The average heat index in May is computed to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Uninterrupted exposure and activity might result in fatigue, potentially causing heat cramps.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
