Weather in May
Temperature
Colyell in May denotes a subtle temperature transition, adjusting from an average high of a moderately hot 78.4°F (25.8°C) in April to a still warm 85.5°F (29.7°C). An average low-temperature of 65.5°F (18.6°C) is recorded in the month of May.Heat index
The heat index value during May is estimated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
