Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May brings an average high-temperature of a warm 28.6°C (83.5°F), closely following the temperature pattern of April. An average low-temperature of 17.7°C (63.9°F) marks the nights throughout May.Heat index
In May, the average heat index is evaluated at a hot 34°C (93.2°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
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 effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
