Weather in May

The heat index value during 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.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
