Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Dorcyville, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 66.6°F (19.2°C) and max 84.9°F (29.4°C).

Temperature

May's arrival is noted with a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 78.6°F (25.9°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C). Dorcyville's nights in May cool down to an average low-temperature of 66.6°F (19.2°C).

Heat index

During May, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
