Weather in May
Temperature
The start of May sees the average high-temperature at a tropical 88.9°F (31.6°C), showing little difference from April's 83.8°F (28.8°C). In the month of May, San Diego witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 70.3°F (21.3°C).Heat index
May's heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
