Weather in May
Temperature
The shift from April to May is marked by a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a pleasant 73°F (22.8°C) to a warm 81°F (27.2°C). Vandiver experiences a consistent average temperature of 60.4°F (15.8°C) throughout the nights in May.Heat index
During May, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 86°F (30°C). Fatigue might occur with continuous exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
