Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival coincides with a subtle temperature rise, moving from April's 77°F (25°C) to a still warm 84.7°F (29.3°C). Throughout May nights, Dorcas registers an average low-temperature of 66.6°F (19.2°C).Heat index
For May, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
