Weather in May
Temperature
The advent of May presents an average high-temperature of a warm 29.1°C (84.4°F), maintaining a close correlation with the preceding month. During May, the average low-temperature is a still moderately hot 23.5°C (74.3°F).Heat index
During May, the heat index is appraised at a hot 33°C (91.4°F). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
