Weather in May
Temperature
In Kent, the average high-temperature in May slightly increases from a warm 76.6°F (24.8°C) in April to a still moderately hot 83.7°F (28.7°C). Despite substantial daily fluctuations, the average low-temperature is a comfortable 61.9°F (16.6°C) during May.Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is appraised at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). If exposure and activity persist, fatigue could ensue, possibly leading to heat cramps.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
