Weather in May
Temperature
May sees a marginal temperature increase, moving from a warm 77°F (25°C) in April to a still moderately hot 83.3°F (28.5°C). Alma records an average low of 65.1°F (18.4°C) throughout the nights in May.Heat index
In May, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). One might feel worn out with persistent exposure and activity, resulting in heat cramps.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
