Weather in May
Temperature
A minimal variation is noted in Catawba's average high-temperature at the onset of May, reaching a tropical 86.4°F (30.2°C) from April's 81.3°F (27.4°C). Catawba experiences a nighttime temperature average of 67.6°F (19.8°C) during May.Heat index
May's heat index is estimated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. To best shield against UV radiation, choose sun-safe garments and dependable sunglasses.
