The last month of the spring, May, is another warm month in Happy Woods, Louisiana, with temperature in the range of an average high of 85.1°F (29.5°C) and an average low of 65.8°F (18.8°C).

Temperature

May comes with a subtle rise, with the average high-temperature adjusting from 78.4°F (25.8°C) in April to a still moderately hot 85.1°F (29.5°C). An average low-temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C) marks the month of May.

Heat index

In May, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

In May, the average relative humidity is 76%.
