Weather in May
Temperature
Sipsey observes a slight ascent in average high-temperatures during May, adjusting from a pleasant 72.7°F (22.6°C) in April to a moderately hot 81°F (27.2°C). During the nights in May, an average low-temperature of 60.4°F (15.8°C) is observed.Heat index
In May, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Exposure and extended activity could potentially cause a state of fatigue and lead to heat cramps.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.

Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
