Weather in May
Temperature
May comes with a subtle rise, with the average high-temperature adjusting from 74.5°F (23.6°C) in April to a still warm 81.7°F (27.6°C). May's average low-temperature reading settles at a refreshing 64.4°F (18°C).Heat index
The heat index value for May is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Prolonged exposure and physical activity might induce exhaustion, potentially causing heat cramps.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.

A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: A maximum high UV index of 7 in May translates into the following recommendations:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. For a sun-safe wardrobe, go for clothes that are tightly woven and generously sized.
