Weather in May
Temperature
The start of May signals a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a moderately hot 76.6°F (24.8°C) in April to a still warm 83.8°F (28.8°C). An average temperature of 63.1°F (17.3°C) marks the nights in May.Heat index
May's average heat index is estimated at a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
