Weather in May
Temperature
The beginning of May marks a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from April's warm 74.8°F (23.8°C) to a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C). Archibald records an average nighttime low of 64.9°F (18.3°C) in May.Heat index
During May, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). With sustained exposure and activity, exhaustion becomes probable, resulting in heat cramps.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. 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. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
