Weather in May
Temperature
The advent of May sees the average high-temperature at a still moderately hot 27.9°C (82.2°F), subtly shifted from April's 27.7°C (81.9°F). Nighttime temperatures consistently average an enjoyable 18.8°C (65.8°F) during May.Heat index
May's average heat index is estimated at a tropical 32°C (89.6°F). Persisting in activity during exposure could lead to weariness and subsequently to heat cramps.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
