Weather in May
Temperature
The start of May brings a subtle rise in the average high-temperature, moving from a moderately hot 73.8°F (23.2°C) in April to a still warm 82°F (27.8°C). May brings Hamilton a consistent average low-temperature of 62.1°F (16.7°C).Heat index
May's mean heat index is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). With extended exposure and activity, one might feel exhausted and experience heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance 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.
