Weather in May
Temperature
The transition from April to May sees average high-temperatures adjusting to a still warm 28.3°C (82.9°F), from a not significantly different 27.7°C (81.9°F). May's average low-temperature is a still moderately hot 25°C (77°F), reflecting a minor difference from the day's peak temperatures.Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is computed to be a hot 33°C (91.4°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. 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', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
