Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival signals a subtle increase in average high-temperatures, moving from April's warm 77.7°F (25.4°C) to a still moderately hot 83.7°F (28.7°C). Gheens usually reports an average low-temperature of 68.9°F (20.5°C) during the month of May.Heat index
The heat index for May is calculated to be a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
