Weather in May
Temperature
As May begins, there's a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 75°F (23.9°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C). During May, the nighttime temperature averages of 64.4°F (18°C).Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is computed to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Extended exposure and activity might lead to tiredness, potentially resulting in heat cramps.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
