Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival sees a mild rise in the average high-temperature, transitioning from April's moderately hot 24.5°C (76.1°F) to a still warm 27.7°C (81.9°F). Night temperatures in May exhibit a subtle decrease, settling at an average of 24.9°C (76.8°F).Heat index
During May, the heat index is calculated to be a hot 32°C (89.6°F). Long-standing exposure coupled with ongoing activity could result in exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
