Weather in May
Temperature
With the transition into May, Townsend experiences a subtle uplift in average high-temperatures, adjusting from a warm 76.6°F (24.8°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.6°F (28.1°C). During the nights in May, Townsend observes an average low-temperature of 67.1°F (19.5°C).Heat index
The heat index for May is estimated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Continued exposure and engagement in activity might trigger tiredness and subsequently heat cramps.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
