May, the last month of the spring in McElroy, is another warm month, with an average temperature varying between 67.3°F (19.6°C) and 84°F (28.9°C).

Temperature

May introduces a marginal temperature uplift, with average high-temperatures adjusting from April's 77.9°F (25.5°C) to a still warm 84°F (28.9°C). During the month of May, McElroy anticipates a mean low-temperature of 67.3°F (19.6°C).

Heat index

During May, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
