Weather in May
Temperature
A subtle rise in the average high-temperature is observed during May, adjusting from a warm 74.3°F (23.5°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.4°F (28°C). During May, the average low-temperature is recorded at a comfortable 64.9°F (18.3°C).Heat index
In May, the average heat index is appraised at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). If one remains active during constant exposure, it might cause exhaustion and heat cramps.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. 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 extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
