Weather in May
Temperature
The commencement of May brings an average high-temperature of a warm 29.3°C (84.7°F), marking an inconsequential divergence from April. May nighttime temperatures hover close to the daytime peak with an average of 25.8°C (78.4°F).Heat index
The heat index in May is calculated to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
Humidity
The most humid month is May, with an average relative humidity of 78%.Rainfall
May is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 24.4 days and accumulates 156mm (6.14") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
The month with the least sunshine is May, with an average of 7.8h of sunshine.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. The months with the lowest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 7 transforms into these recommendations:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat.
