Weather in May
Temperature
May, having an average high-temperature of 27.2°C (81°F) and an average low-temperature of 16.5°C (61.7°F), is the coldest month.Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 31°C (87.8°F). Continuous exposure and activity could induce a sense of tiredness and subsequently, heat cramps.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
