Weather in May
Temperature
The onset of May brings a minor temperature shift, with the average high-temperature moving from 77.4°F (25.2°C) in April to a still warm 85.3°F (29.6°C). An average low-temperature of 64.4°F (18°C) is observed during the May nights.Heat index
During May, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
