Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival brings a slight change in high-temperatures, adjusting from a warm 76.6°F (24.8°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C). Pelican registers a consistent average low-temperature of 63.9°F (17.7°C) during May.Heat index
May's heat index is estimated at a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
