Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival is noted with a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 25.1°C (77.2°F) in April to a still moderately hot 28.3°C (82.9°F). A modest dip in temperatures to an average of 24.7°C (76.5°F) is observed throughout Cheung Lek Mei's May nights.Heat index
During May, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 33°C (91.4°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
