Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Newton, is another warm month, with an average temperature ranging between max 83.7°F (28.7°C) and min 64.8°F (18.2°C).

Temperature

Newton observes a slight uplift in the average high-temperature with the onset of May, adjusting from April's warm 77.2°F (25.1°C) to a still moderately hot 83.7°F (28.7°C). Newton's average low-temperature during May nights is observed to be a comfortable 64.8°F (18.2°C).

Heat index

The average heat index in May is calculated to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Enduring exposure and unrelenting activity might cause a state of weariness, potentially leading to heat cramps.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.

It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
