Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Dunlap, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature varying between 61.3°F (16.3°C) and 81.5°F (27.5°C).

Temperature

Dunlap's transition into May is noticed by a slight rise in the average high-temperature, advancing from a moderately hot 73.6°F (23.1°C) in April to a still warm 81.5°F (27.5°C). During May, the nighttime temperature averages to a refreshing 61.3°F (16.3°C).

Heat index

May's average heat index is calculated to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Persistently participating in activities during exposure may lead to fatigue and induce heat cramps.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
