Weather in May
Temperature
The beginning of May marks a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from April's 76.3°F (24.6°C) to a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C). Throughout May, an average low-temperature of 63.3°F (17.4°C) is experienced.Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
