Weather in May

May initiates the outset of summer in Kenner. The heat intensifies to a striking average high of 82.9°F (28.3°C), making it one of the warmest months of the year. This period heralds the onset of steady showers and humidity due to the combination of warmth and precipitation. There is a pronounced reduction in wind speed, which might intensify the perceived heat. Yet, despite the borders of discomfort, May offers bountiful sunshine, illuminating the city longer than any other period.

Temperature

May's onset brings a subtle temperature rise, moving from 76.6°F (24.8°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C). An average low-temperature of 70°F (21.1°C) is observed during May nights.

Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is estimated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Continued exposure and engagement in activity might trigger tiredness and subsequently heat cramps.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
