Weather in May
Temperature
With the onset of May, the average high-temperature subtly transitions from a warm 76.6°F (24.8°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84°F (28.9°C). Shortleaf observes a dramatic plunge from daytime highs in May, settling at an average low-temperature of 62.4°F (16.9°C).Heat index
May's average heat index is appraised at a hot 91.4°F (33°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for 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.
