Weather in May

Middle Quarters marks the start of May with an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.5°C (83.3°F), hinting at a slight fluctuation from April's 28.4°C (83.1°F). Middle Quarters, during May, witnesses an average low-temperature of 20.8°C (69.4°F).Heat index

Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining 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. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
