Weather in May
Temperature
The transition from April to May brings a subtle temperature rise, with average high-temperatures increasing from 78.6°F (25.9°C) to a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C). An average low-temperature of 66.2°F (19°C) is recorded in the month of May.Heat index
May's average heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
