Weather in May
Temperature
May's advent presents an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 27.7°C (81.9°F), indicating a slight variation from the conditions of the previous month. During May, the nighttime temperature averages to a comfortable 19.8°C (67.6°F).Heat index
The heat index value during May is computed to be a hot 32°C (89.6°F). With constant exposure and activity, a state of weariness might ensue, leading to potential heat cramps.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
