Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a still warm 27.9°C (82.2°F) from April's 28.3°C (82.9°F). An average low-temperature of 17.1°C (62.8°F) is recorded during the nights in May.Heat index
The heat index in May is calculated to be a hot 31°C (87.8°F). Long-standing exposure coupled with ongoing activity could result in exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
