Weather in May
Temperature
May records an average high-temperature of a still warm 27.7°C (81.9°F), indicating a minor variation from the preceding month. Despite substantial daily fluctuations, the average low-temperature is a mild 14.1°C (57.4°F) during May.Heat index
May's mean heat index is appraised at 27°C (80.6°F). Continued exposure and engagement in activity might trigger tiredness and subsequently heat cramps.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.

Put precautions into practice - Protective measures against sun-induced damage are advised. The intensity of the Sun's UV radiation during midday suggests reducing time spent outdoors. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
