Weather in May
Temperature
The beginning of May marks a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from April's warm 73.9°F (23.3°C) to a still moderately hot 81.3°F (27.4°C). Lake Joy experiences an average low-temperature of 60.1°F (15.6°C) in month of May.Heat index
The average heat index in May is calculated to be a hot 86°F (30°C). Exposure and extended activity could potentially cause a state of fatigue and lead to heat cramps.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
