Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May signals a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 75°F (23.9°C) in April to a still warm 82.9°F (28.3°C). Throughout the month of May, Fairdale sees a steady low-temperature average of 61.9°F (16.6°C).Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). If one persists in activity during exposure, it could induce weariness and subsequently, heat cramps.Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
