Weather in May
Temperature
As April gives way to May, the average high-temperature displays a slight ascent, adjusting from a warm 78.4°F (25.8°C) to a still moderately hot 85.8°F (29.9°C). Despite a significant deviation from daily highs, May sees an average nighttime temperature of 63.7°F (17.6°C).Heat index
The heat index for May is evaluated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
