Weather in May
Temperature
May's onset is marked by a subtle temperature increase, moving from 76.6°F (24.8°C) in April to a still warm 84.7°F (29.3°C). An average low-temperature of 64.6°F (18.1°C) is anticipated throughout the nights during May.Heat index
In May, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
