Weather in May
Temperature
The introduction of May sees an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.3°C (82.9°F), hardly deviating from April. May nights document an average temperature reading of 26.8°C (80.2°F).Heat index
The heat index value for May is estimated at a tropical 32°C (89.6°F). Persisting in activity during long-term exposure might induce weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
