Weather in May
Temperature
May's onset brings a subtle temperature rise, moving from 77.5°F (25.3°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84.6°F (29.2°C). Sunset's average low-temperature in the month of May is recorded at a refreshing 66.4°F (19.1°C).Heat index
In May, the heat index is appraised at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
