Weather in May
Temperature
Maxwell's transition into May is noticed by a slight rise in the average high-temperature, advancing from 74.7°F (23.7°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.4°F (28°C). In the month of May, Maxwell experiences an average low-temperature of 61.9°F (16.6°C).Heat index
The average heat index in May is evaluated at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Ongoing activity coupled with exposure often results in weariness and could induce heat cramps.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Humidity
In May, the average relative humidity is 73%.Rainfall
In Maxwell, in May, during 14.1 rainfall days, 2.99" (76mm) of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, in Maxwell, there are 172.6 rainfall days, and 40.94" (1040mm) of precipitation is accumulated.Snowfall

Sunshine
In May, the average sunshine is 10h.UV index
The average daily maximum UV index in May is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: The UV index of 6 during May translates into the following guidance:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage.
