Weather in May
Temperature
May comes with a subtle rise, with the average high-temperature adjusting from 78.4°F (25.8°C) in April to a still moderately hot 85.8°F (29.9°C). Marked by a significant temperature drop from daytime highs, the average nighttime temperature lowers to an enjoyable 63.7°F (17.6°C) throughout May.Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
