Weather in May
Temperature
May introduces a marginal temperature uplift, with average high-temperatures adjusting from April's warm 76.8°F (24.9°C) to a still moderately hot 84°F (28.9°C). Pittsview observes an average nighttime temperature of 63.1°F (17.3°C) during May.Heat index
For May, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Long-standing exposure coupled with ongoing activity could result in exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.

Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes.
