Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Watsonville, is another warm month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 62.6°F (17°C) and 85.3°F (29.6°C).

Temperature

A subtle rise in the average high-temperature is observed during May, adjusting from 77.7°F (25.4°C) in April to a still warm 85.3°F (29.6°C). Watsonville encounters a substantial decline from its daily high to a low-temperature of 62.6°F (17°C) during May nights.

Heat index

May's mean heat index is computed to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. 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.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
