Weather in May
Temperature
The transition from April to May brings a subtle temperature rise, with average high-temperatures increasing from a moderately hot 77.7°F (25.4°C) to a still warm 84.6°F (29.2°C). During May, Gordon experiences an average low-temperature of 65.1°F (18.4°C) at night.Heat index
The heat index for May is estimated at a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
