Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival is noted with a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 24.5°C (76.1°F) in April to a still moderately hot 27.7°C (81.9°F). Tai Shui Hang's average temperature throughout the nights in May exhibits a minor decrease from daytime highs, stabilizing at a still moderately hot 24.9°C (76.8°F).Heat index
May's mean heat index is computed to be a tropical 32°C (89.6°F). Ongoing exposure and activity could lead to a state of exhaustion, with a chance of heat cramps.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and 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 are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
