Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 27.9°C (82.2°F), closely following the temperature pattern of April. Throughout May, the temperature falls to an average low of 17.1°C (62.8°F).Heat index
In May, the average heat index is evaluated at a hot 31°C (87.8°F). Persistently participating in activities during exposure may lead to fatigue and induce heat cramps.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.

A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests this advice:
Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear.
