May, the last month of the spring in Genessee, is another warm month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 85.1°F (29.5°C) and 65.8°F (18.8°C).

With the start of May, the average high-temperature marginally shifts from April's 78.4°F (25.8°C) to a still warm 85.1°F (29.5°C). During May, the average low-temperature is recorded at a comfortable 65.8°F (18.8°C).

Heat index

In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
