Weather in May
Temperature
Montegut observes a slight uplift in the average high-temperature with the onset of May, adjusting from April's 77.2°F (25.1°C) to a still warm 82.9°F (28.3°C). During May, Montegut's temperature averages to an agreeable 70°F (21.1°C) at night.Heat index
The heat index value for May is computed to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Remaining active during long-lasting exposure could cause fatigue, leading to heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
