Weather in May

The heat index in May is computed to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Continued exposure and engagement in activity might trigger tiredness and subsequently heat cramps.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
