Weather in May
Temperature
Gloster experiences a minor temperature shift with the start of May, with average high-temperatures moving from 76.8°F (24.9°C) in April to a still warm 84.7°F (29.3°C). Gloster in May anticipates an average nighttime temperature of 63.9°F (17.7°C).Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. 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.

Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
