Weather in May
Temperature
Sheppards observes a slight uplift in the average high-temperature with the onset of May, adjusting from April's warm 75°F (23.9°C) to a still moderately hot 81.7°F (27.6°C). Sheppards's average low-temperature is measured at a refreshing 64°F (17.8°C) during May.Heat index
In May, the average heat index is computed to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). With extended exposure and activity, one might feel exhausted and experience heat cramps.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
