Weather in May
Temperature
May introduces a minor temperature shift, with average high-temperatures adjusting from April's warm 75.2°F (24°C) to a still moderately hot 81.3°F (27.4°C). Encalade records a slight downturn in temperature to an average of 72.9°F (22.7°C) during May nights.Heat index
May's heat index is evaluated at a hot 86°F (30°C). One might feel worn out with persistent exposure and activity, resulting in heat cramps.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. 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 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.

Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
