Weather in May
Temperature
With the start of May, the average high-temperature marginally shifts from April's pleasant 72.9°F (22.7°C) to a warm 80.8°F (27.1°C). Bankston's nighttime temperature in May drops to an average of 60.4°F (15.8°C).Heat index
In May, the heat index is evaluated at 84.2°F (29°C). Ongoing activity coupled with exposure often results in weariness and could induce heat cramps.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
