Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival signals a subtle increase in average high-temperatures, moving from April's 74.8°F (23.8°C) to a still warm 82.4°F (28°C). Thorsby's temperature in May lowers to a consistent average of 61.5°F (16.4°C) during the nights.Heat index
The average heat index in May is calculated to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. 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 primarily vital for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
