May, the last month of the spring in Hedgeland, is another warm month, with an average temperature varying between 64.4°F (18°C) and 83.1°F (28.4°C).

Temperature

Hedgeland, Louisiana, observes a slight uplift in the average high-temperature with the onset of May, adjusting from April's warm 75.6°F (24.2°C) to a still moderately hot 83.1°F (28.4°C). During May nights, Hedgeland witnesses a consistent average temperature of 64.4°F (18°C).

Heat index

In May, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
