Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival sees a mild rise in the average high-temperature, transitioning from April's 75.2°F (24°C) to a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C). Barnes, during May nights, observes an average temperature of 64°F (17.8°C).Heat index
The heat index in May is calculated to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
