Weather in May
Temperature
In May, the meteorological conditions subtly change with the average high-temperature edging from a moderately hot 73.4°F (23°C) in April to a still warm 82°F (27.8°C). May nights in Wave cool down to an average low-temperature of 61.9°F (16.6°C).Heat index
During May, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Persistent activity under exposure might lead to a feeling of weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
