Temperature

The shift into May is characterized by a subtle rise in the average high-temperature, transitioning from April's moderately hot 80.1°F (26.7°C) to a hot 86°F (30°C). During May, the temperature is averaged to a low of 66.4°F (19.1°C) at night.

Heat index

May's heat index is calculated to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
