Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival is noted with a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 75.9°F (24.4°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.8°F (28.2°C). Powelltown records an average nighttime low-temperature of 64.9°F (18.3°C) throughout May.Heat index
In May, the heat index is calculated to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Constant activity during exposure could result in a state of weariness and possibly heat cramps.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level 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 particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
