Weather in May
Temperature
May's onset brings a subtle temperature rise, moving from a moderately hot 74.1°F (23.4°C) in April to a still warm 81.7°F (27.6°C). Nighttime temperature dips to a mean of 63.1°F (17.3°C) during May.Heat index
May's heat index is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). If one endures exposure and continues to be active, it might result in tiredness and heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
