Weather in May
Temperature
The shift into May is accompanied by a modest temperature increase, with the average high-temperature edging up from an agreeable 72.5°F (22.5°C) in April to a moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C). Samples observes an average low-temperature of 61.7°F (16.5°C) during May.Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is estimated at a hot 86°F (30°C). Unrelenting activity during exposure could cause fatigue and potentially lead to heat cramps.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.

Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Outfit yourself in sun-safe attire, like long sleeves, pants, a hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
