Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Scotland, is another warm month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 64°F (17.8°C) and 82.4°F (28°C).

Temperature

Scotland's May weather indicates a minor ascent in high-temperatures, adjusting from 75.4°F (24.1°C) in April to a still warm 82.4°F (28°C). An average nighttime temperature of 64°F (17.8°C) is observed during May.

Heat index

During May, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Continuing activity during long-lasting exposure might induce tiredness and result in heat cramps.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. 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 especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
