Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival 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 84°F (28.9°C). Despite high daytime temperatures, the average temperature in Alfalfa lowers to a comfortable 62.4°F (16.9°C) during May nights.Heat index
During May, the heat index is calculated to be a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
