Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May signals a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 77.9°F (25.5°C) in April to a still warm 85.3°F (29.6°C). Bowles documents a substantial deviation from daytime highs with a consistent low-temperature of 63.1°F (17.3°C) during May nights.Heat index
May's mean heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
