The onset of May brings a minor temperature shift, with the average high-temperature moving from a pleasant 73°F (22.8°C) in April to a moderately hot 80.8°F (27.1°C). Jonesboro observes an average nighttime temperature of 61.2°F (16.2°C) during May.Heat index
The heat index in May is estimated at 84.2°F (29°C). Extended exposure and activity might lead to tiredness, potentially resulting in heat cramps.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. 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. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
