Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival coincides with a subtle temperature rise, moving from April's moderately hot 77.4°F (25.2°C) to a still warm 84.7°F (29.3°C). Throughout May, Bernard registers a consistent average low-temperature of 66.2°F (19°C).Heat index
For May, the heat index is appraised at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
