Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May brings a soft temperature shift, with the average high-temperature nudging from 77.4°F (25.2°C) in April to a still warm 85.3°F (29.6°C). During May, the nighttime temperature averages to a refreshing 64.9°F (18.3°C).Heat index
The heat index in May is calculated to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. 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.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
