Weather in May

A subtle rise in the average high-temperature is observed during May, adjusting from a moderately hot 78.1°F (25.6°C) in April to a still warm 84.9°F (29.4°C). Wainwright's nighttime temperatures in May reflect a stark contrast to the day's highs, falling to an average low of 62.6°F (17°C).Heat index
The heat index value for May is computed to be a hot 93.2°F (34°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
