Weather in May
Temperature
May's onset brings a minor rise in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 74.7°F (23.7°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C). In Cargas, an average nighttime temperature of 64.8°F (18.2°C) is expected during May.Heat index
In May, the average heat index is appraised at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Persistently participating in activities during exposure may lead to fatigue and induce heat cramps.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
