Weather in May
Temperature
Oakland's weather in May presents a minor rise in the average high-temperature, moving from a pleasant 72.9°F (22.7°C) in April to a moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C). May's average low-temperature reading in Oakland settles at a comfortable 62.8°F (17.1°C).Heat index
May's mean heat index is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Ongoing activity coupled with exposure often results in weariness and could induce heat cramps.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
