Weather in May
Temperature
Observing a minor shift, the average high-temperature during May adjusts from April's warm 78.4°F (25.8°C) to a still moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C). Leroy experiences a drastic reduction from day temperatures to an average low of 63°F (17.2°C) in May.Heat index
In May, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
