Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival signals a modest temperature shift, moving from 73.9°F (23.3°C) in April to a still moderately hot 81.9°F (27.7°C). During May, Sturdivant's temperature falls to a steady low-temperature average of 60.4°F (15.8°C).Heat index
In May, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 86°F (30°C). If one continues to be active during enduring exposure, it could result in fatigue and heat cramps.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
