Weather in May
Temperature
The onset of May brings a minor temperature shift, with the average high-temperature moving from 76.8°F (24.9°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84.2°F (29°C). Nighttime temperatures exhibit a substantial dip from daytime highs during May, averaging at a refreshing 62.2°F (16.8°C).Heat index
May's mean heat index is calculated to be a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
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 impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
