Weather in May
Temperature
A minor escalation in the average high-temperature is seen with the onset of May, moving from a moderately hot 76.6°F (24.8°C) in April to a still warm 83.7°F (28.7°C). In Elmore, an average temperature of 62.2°F (16.8°C) is noted during May nights.Heat index
In May, the average heat index is calculated to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Extended exposure and activity might lead to tiredness, potentially resulting in heat cramps.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.

Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
