Weather in May
Temperature
May records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 27.8°C (82°F), indicating a minor variation from the preceding month. A consistent nighttime average temperature of 25.7°C (78.3°F) is maintained during May.Heat index
The heat index value for May is estimated at a tropical 32°C (89.6°F). Unrelenting activity during exposure could cause fatigue and potentially lead to heat cramps.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance 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.
