Temperature

With the beginning of May, Rochelle's average high-temperature sees a minor increase, transitioning from a moderately hot 80.8°F (27.1°C) in April to a tropical 86.2°F (30.1°C). An average low-temperature of 66.9°F (19.4°C) is recorded in the month of May.

Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. 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 particularly important for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 72%.

Rainfall

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: During May, 7 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
