Weather in May
Temperature
The shift into May is marked by a modest rise in the average high-temperature, moving from April's warm 73.8°F (23.2°C) to a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C). Nighttime temperatures consistently average a comfortable 64.9°F (18.3°C) during May.Heat index
The average heat index in May is estimated at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). A sense of exhaustion might occur with extended exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
