Temperature

May's onset witnesses a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from a moderately hot 74.3°F (23.5°C) in April to a still warm 81.9°F (27.7°C). In May, the average low-temperature records at a pleasant 69.8°F (21°C) during the nights.

Heat index

The heat index value during May is computed to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Long-standing exposure and activity could induce a feeling of tiredness and lead to heat cramps.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
