Weather in May
Temperature
The beginning of May marks a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from April's warm 78.4°F (25.8°C) to a still moderately hot 85.3°F (29.6°C). Bristol experiences a mean temperature of 65.1°F (18.4°C) during May nights.Heat index
May's average heat index is computed to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
