Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival brings a slight change in high-temperatures, adjusting from a moderately hot 77.7°F (25.4°C) in April to a still warm 84.2°F (29°C). Carto experiences an average low-temperature reading of 64°F (17.8°C) throughout May.Heat index
The average heat index in May is calculated to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. 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.
