Weather in May
Temperature
May brings a slight increase in the average high-temperature, progressing from an agreeable 73°F (22.8°C) in April to a warm 80.8°F (27.1°C). In Hightower Forest, an average low-temperature of 61°F (16.1°C) is recorded during May nights.Heat index
The average heat index in May is estimated at 84.2°F (29°C). Enduring exposure and continuous activity might cause a feeling of tiredness and induce heat cramps.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
