Weather in May
Temperature
The shift from April to May introduces a subtle increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a moderately hot 76.8°F (24.9°C) to a still warm 82.9°F (28.3°C). The low-temperature averages to a comfortable 64.9°F (18.3°C) during the nights of May.Heat index
May's mean heat index is estimated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Exhaustion is likely with prolonged exposure and activity. Sustaining activity may result in heat cramps.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
