Weather in May
Temperature
The shift into May is marked by a modest rise in the average high-temperature, moving from April's moderately hot 78.4°F (25.8°C) to a still warm 85.6°F (29.8°C). May's nights observe an average temperature of 65.7°F (18.7°C).Heat index
In May, the average heat index is computed to be a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
