Weather in May
Temperature
The transition from April to May brings a subtle temperature rise, with average high-temperatures increasing from a pleasant 73°F (22.8°C) to a moderately hot 81°F (27.2°C). Throughout May, Avenal acknowledges a distinct difference between its daytime highs and the steady low average of 56.1°F (13.4°C).Heat index
The average heat index in May is computed to be 80.6°F (27°C). Staying active during long-term exposure might result in a state of exhaustion and cause heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
