Weather in May
Temperature
A minor adjustment in Elkton's average high-temperature is noted with the start of May, touching a still warm 82.6°F (28.1°C) from April's 77.5°F (25.3°C). During the month of May, the temperature falls to an average of 70.2°F (21.2°C).Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is appraised at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Exposure and extended activity could potentially cause a state of fatigue and lead to heat cramps.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious.
