Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Ridley, is another warm month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 81.1°F (27.3°C) and 60.4°F (15.8°C).

Temperature

A slight uplift in the average high-temperature marks May, adjusting from April's 73.4°F (23°C) to a still warm 81.1°F (27.3°C). Ridley experiences an average low-temperature of 60.4°F (15.8°C) in month of May.

Heat index

May's mean heat index is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Exhaustion becomes probable with enduring exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
