Weather in May

May witnesses warmer temperatures as it progresses into peak summer season, but also brings in a heavier downpour, with an average rainfall of 29mm (1.14"), marking the start of the region's wet season. Despite this increase in rainfall, the average daylight and sunshine hours increase as well, allowing for longer stretches of visible and sunny skies. The wind picks up slightly, introducing a refreshing change in the weather.

Temperature

During May, the average high-temperature is a still moderately hot 28°C (82.4°F), maintaining a close resemblance to that of the preceding month. Cheltenham, during May nights, records a temperature marginally cooler than the daytime average, at a still moderately hot 27.1°C (80.8°F).

Heat index

In May, the heat index is estimated at a hot 32°C (89.6°F). Uninterrupted exposure and activity might result in fatigue, potentially causing heat cramps.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. 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. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
