Weather in May
Temperature
Ikes's transition into May is noticed by a slight rise in the average high-temperature, advancing from 77.7°F (25.4°C) in April to a still moderately hot 85.3°F (29.6°C). In Ikes, in May, the average low-temperature is a refreshing 65.5°F (18.6°C).Heat index
For May, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: A maximum high UV index of 7 in May translates into the following recommendations:
Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
