Weather in May
Temperature
A gentle upsurge in temperatures occurs as April gives way to May, with average highs shifting from a warm 73.4°F (23°C) to a still moderately hot 81.3°F (27.4°C). Mount Sharon records a consistent low-temperature of 60.3°F (15.7°C) during May nights.Heat index
In May, the heat index is computed to be a hot 86°F (30°C). Prolonged activity during exposure might result in a state of fatigue and cause heat cramps.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
