Weather in May
Temperature
The shift into May is marked by a modest rise in the average high-temperature, moving from April's moderately hot 78.4°F (25.8°C) to a still warm 85.1°F (29.5°C). Throughout the month of May, Ragley witnesses an average temperature of 67.1°F (19.5°C).Heat index
In May, the heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection.
