Weather in May

May is the gateway to summer where Andalusia starts feeling the heat and experiences a serious shift towards warmer temperatures. It presents the residents with more daylight hours, and the warmth can often be felt late into the evenings. The average temperatures clock in at over 80°F (26.7°C) as the weather gears up for the sizzling summer months. The highest temperature evinces a sharp rise, crossing the 85.3°F (29.6°C) mark, announcing the arrival of the hot season in full swing. With June around the corner, it's certainly a harbinger of the balmy days to come.

Temperature

With the onset of May, the average high-temperature subtly transitions from a warm 77.9°F (25.5°C) in April to a still moderately hot 85.3°F (29.6°C). In Andalusia, the average temperature during the nights of May marks a significant drop from the daily high, settling at a refreshing 63.3°F (17.4°C).

Heat index

The heat index value during May is evaluated at a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular importance 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.
