With the onset of May, Roosevelt's weather sees a minor temperature rise, transitioning from 74.3°F (23.5°C) in April to a still warm 82.4°F (28°C). Nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 64.9°F (18.3°C) in May.

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Ongoing activity coupled with exposure often results in weariness and could induce heat cramps.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
