Weather in May
Temperature
May's onset brings a minor rise in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 25°C (77°F) in April to a still moderately hot 28.4°C (83.1°F). Throughout May, Cheung Sha Wan reports a steady low-temperature average of 24.8°C (76.6°F), slightly lower than its daytime counterpart.Heat index
May's average heat index is appraised at a tropical 34°C (93.2°F). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
