Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is another warm month in Port Hickey Landing, Louisiana, with an average temperature varying between 84.7°F (29.3°C) and 64.9°F (18.3°C).

Temperature

In Port Hickey Landing, the average high-temperature in May slightly rises, from a warm 78.3°F (25.7°C) in April, to a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C). During May, the average low-temperature is a refreshing 64.9°F (18.3°C).

Heat index

During May, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
