May's arrival brings a slight change in high-temperatures, adjusting from an agreeable 73°F (22.8°C) in April to a warm 81°F (27.2°C). Throughout May, Yancy registers a consistent average low-temperature of 61.2°F (16.2°C).Heat index
May's heat index is calculated to be a hot 86°F (30°C). If exposure and activity are sustained, they might cause a feeling of weariness, resulting in heat cramps.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
