Weather in May
Temperature
A slight uplift in the average high-temperature marks May, adjusting from April's warm 78.4°F (25.8°C) to a still moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C). During May, Paxton records an average temperature of 64.8°F (18.2°C) at night.Heat index
May's average heat index is estimated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
