Weather in May
Temperature
The dawn of May in The Settlement, British Virgin Islands, sees an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 27.3°C (81.1°F), subtly contrasting with April's 26.3°C (79.3°F). The Settlement sustains an average of approximately a still moderately hot 26.1°C (79°F) during May nights, with little variation from daytime highs.Heat index
May's mean heat index is estimated at a tropical 30°C (86°F). Prolonged exposure combined with continuous activity could lead to exhaustion, and possibly heat cramps.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
