Weather in May
Temperature
Pelion's transition into May brings a slight rise in the average high-temperature, moving from a moderately hot 73.6°F (23.1°C) in April to a still warm 80.8°F (27.1°C). Throughout May, an average low-temperature of 63°F (17.2°C) is experienced.Heat index
The average heat index in May is computed to be 84.2°F (29°C). Long-standing exposure and activity could induce a feeling of tiredness and lead to heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. 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.
