Weather in May
Temperature
May, with average temperatures reaching a high of 41.3°C (106.3°F) and a low of 28.8°C (83.8°F), is the warmest month.Heat index
May's average heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 52°C (125.6°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
Humidity
In May, the average relative humidity is 40%.Rainfall
January through March and May are months with the least rain when the rain falls for 1.3 days and typically aggregates up to 1mm (0.04") of rain.Daylight

Sunshine
May has the most sunshine of the year, with an average of 11.4h of sunshine.UV index
March through June, with an average maximum UV index of 8, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.Note: An average UV index of 8 in May transforms into this advice:
Be constantly cautious; skin and eyes can be quickly affected if left unprotected. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
