Weather in May
Temperature
May notes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.4°F (28°C), subtly differing from April's 79.2°F (26.2°C). Gifford's nighttime temperature in May falls to an average of 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
The heat index value during May is calculated to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Unrelenting activity during exposure could cause fatigue and potentially lead to heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
