Weather in May
Temperature
The shift from April to May introduces a subtle increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a pleasant 72°F (22.2°C) to a moderately hot 80.6°F (27°C). During the month of May, Benton experiences a steady low-temperature average of 61°F (16.1°C).Heat index
May's heat index is computed to be 84.2°F (29°C). Persisting in activity during exposure could lead to weariness and subsequently to heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.

Sunshine
In Benton, the average sunshine in May is 9h.UV index
The average daily maximum UV index in May is 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: A maximum high UV index of 6 in May translates into the following recommendations:
Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched 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. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
