May, the last month of the spring in Mittie, is another warm month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 66.2°F (19°C) and an average high of 84.7°F (29.3°C).

Temperature

May witnesses a minor rise in the average high-temperature, transitioning from a moderately hot 77.4°F (25.2°C) in April to a still warm 84.7°F (29.3°C). An average low-temperature of 66.2°F (19°C) is noted during the nights in May.

Heat index

For May, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
