Weather in May
Temperature
In Epworth, the onset of May comes with a modest high-temperature shift, transitioning from April's moderately hot 78.4°F (25.8°C) to a still warm 85.8°F (29.9°C). May nights present a sharp contrast to daytime highs, with average temperatures of 63.7°F (17.6°C).Heat index
The average heat index in May is evaluated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
