Weather in May
Temperature
Alco's May weather indicates a minor ascent in high-temperatures, adjusting from a warm 77.5°F (25.3°C) in April to a still moderately hot 85.1°F (29.5°C). In the month of May, Alco records a consistent average low-temperature of 64.9°F (18.3°C).Heat index
For May, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. 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 important 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.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
