Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Fort Meade, is a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 86.7°F (30.4°C) and min 68.9°F (20.5°C).

Temperature

Fort Meade's average high-temperature in May is a tropical 86.7°F (30.4°C), indicating a subtle variation from April. The temperature lowers to an average of 68.9°F (20.5°C) during May nights.

Heat index

May's mean heat index is computed to be a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
