Weather in May
Temperature
May's onset is marked by a subtle temperature increase, moving from a moderately hot 75.2°F (24°C) in April to a still warm 81.3°F (27.4°C). Nighttime temperature sees a small decrement from daytime highs, dipping to an average of 72.9°F (22.7°C) during May.Heat index
May's mean heat index is computed to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Persistently participating in activities during exposure may lead to fatigue and induce heat cramps.Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.

Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent.
