Weather in May
Temperature
May comes with a subtle rise, with the average high-temperature adjusting from a moderately hot 74.1°F (23.4°C) in April to a still warm 81.5°F (27.5°C). During May, the temperature tends to dip to an average of 61.2°F (16.2°C) at night.Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is calculated to be a hot 86°F (30°C). Exhaustion might be the outcome of enduring exposure and continuous activity, with a risk of heat cramps.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.

Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
