Weather in May
Temperature
The shift into May records an average high-temperature of a hot 86.4°F (30.2°C), subtly varied from April's 81.3°F (27.4°C). Rutland observes an average nighttime temperature of 67.8°F (19.9°C) during May.Heat index
May's mean heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital 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.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
Humidity
In May, the average relative humidity is 73%.Rainfall
In May, the rain falls for 14.8 days. Throughout May, 1.5" (38mm) of precipitation is accumulated. In Rutland, during the entire year, the rain falls for 162 days and collects up to 20.24" (514mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

Sunshine
With an average of 10.9h of sunshine, May has the most sunshine of the year.UV index
May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during May translates into these guidelines:
Stick with precautions and abide by sun safety procedures. Evading sunburn is essential. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
