Temperature

As April turns into May, the average high-temperatures rest at a hot 86.5°F (30.3°C), showing a minor variation from the prior month. In Southfort, May is marked by an average low-temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C).

Heat index

The heat index for May is calculated to be a fiery hot 96.8°F (36°C). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 71%.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
