Temperature

In Amelia, the onset of May comes with a modest high-temperature shift, transitioning from April's warm 77.4°F (25.2°C) to a still moderately hot 83.3°F (28.5°C). An average nighttime temperature of 69.1°F (20.6°C) is witnessed throughout May.

Heat index

During May, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
