Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May introduces a minor uplift in high-temperatures, adjusting from a moderately hot 77.7°F (25.4°C) in April to a still warm 84.6°F (29.2°C). During the nights in May, Gordon experiences a consistent average temperature of 65.1°F (18.4°C).Heat index
The average heat index in May is computed to be a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. 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.
