Weather in May
Temperature
The onset of May brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 27.9°C (82.2°F), nearly matching the April temperature. May nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 17.1°C (62.8°F).Heat index
The average heat index in May is estimated at a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). With sustained exposure and activity, exhaustion becomes probable, resulting in heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
