Weather in May
Temperature
Fresno observes a slight uplift in the average high-temperature with the onset of May, adjusting from April's agreeable 72.3°F (22.4°C) to a warm 80.8°F (27.1°C). During the month of May, an average temperature of 63.1°F (17.3°C) is noted during the nights.Heat index
During May, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). If exposure and ongoing activity persist, they might induce a state of tiredness and heat cramps.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
