Weather in May
Temperature
May brings a slight increase in the average high-temperature, progressing from a moderately hot 77.5°F (25.3°C) in April to a still warm 84.7°F (29.3°C). During the nights in May, the temperature averages to a comfortable 67.5°F (19.7°C).Heat index
During May, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Being under direct sunlight might amplify 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. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. 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 especially crucial for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
