Weather in May
Temperature
With the onset of May, Newton's average high-temperature experiences a slight rise, moving from April's warm 78.1°F (25.6°C) to a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C). An average nighttime temperature of 64.9°F (18.3°C) is noted during the month of May.Heat index
The heat index in May is evaluated at a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.

The months with the highest UV index in Newton are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: The UV index of 7 in May translates into these instructions:
Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
