May, the last month of the spring in Gum Springs, is a warm month, with an average temperature varying between 61.2°F (16.2°C) and 81.1°F (27.3°C).

Temperature

May's arrival coincides with a marginal rise in the average high-temperature, moving from April's agreeable 73°F (22.8°C) to a warm 81.1°F (27.3°C). Gum Springs records an average low of 61.2°F (16.2°C) throughout the nights in May.

Heat index

May's heat index is computed to be a hot 86°F (30°C). Constant exposure and activity lead to possible fatigue. Prolonged exercise may result in heat cramps.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
