Weather in May
Temperature
As May begins, there's a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a pleasant 72.9°F (22.7°C) in April to a moderately hot 81°F (27.2°C). Ashland experiences a nighttime temperature average of 59.7°F (15.4°C) during May.Heat index
The heat index value during May is computed to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). With ongoing exposure and activity, one might experience weariness, and heat cramps could ensue.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
