Weather in May
Temperature
May temperatures tend to peak at an average high of 30.9°C (87.6°F) and dip to a low of 24.6°C (76.3°F).Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
