Weather in May
Temperature
On the advent of May, Gifford's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a still moderately hot 82.4°F (28°C) from April's 79.2°F (26.2°C). The average temperature during May nights is registered at a pleasant 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
May's mean heat index is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.

Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
