Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival signals a subtle increase in average high-temperatures, moving from April's 78.4°F (25.8°C) to a still moderately hot 85.1°F (29.5°C). In the month of May, the nighttime temperature dips to a steady average of 67.1°F (19.5°C).Heat index
The heat index value for May is evaluated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to 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.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
