Weather in May
Temperature
May's onset brings a subtle temperature rise, moving from a warm 75.7°F (24.3°C) in April to a still moderately hot 83.7°F (28.7°C). In Harrisonburg, an average nighttime temperature of 64.9°F (18.3°C) is expected during May.Heat index
For May, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. 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 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
