Weather in May
Temperature
As May sets, the average high-temperature shows a slight increase, moving up from 75.2°F (24°C) in April to a still moderately hot 83.1°F (28.4°C). Throughout the month of May, Kings observes an average nighttime temperature of 63.5°F (17.5°C).Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). With extended exposure and activity, one might feel exhausted and experience heat cramps.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
