May, the last month of the spring in Barton, is also a moderately hot month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 84.7°F (29.3°C) and an average low of 66.2°F (19°C).

Temperature

The shift from April to May sees a slight increase in the average high-temperature, transitioning from a moderately hot 78.6°F (25.9°C) to a still warm 84.7°F (29.3°C). During the month of May, Barton's nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 66.2°F (19°C).

Heat index

In May, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
