Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival coincides with a subtle temperature rise, moving from April's warm 78.3°F (25.7°C) to a still moderately hot 85.8°F (29.9°C). During May, the temperature is averaged to a low of 65.5°F (18.6°C) at night.Heat index
The average heat index in May is computed to be a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical 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.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
