Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Sarepta, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 83.8°F (28.8°C) and 62.8°F (17.1°C).

Temperature

May's arrival signals a modest temperature shift, moving from a warm 75.2°F (24°C) in April to a still moderately hot 83.8°F (28.8°C). An average low-temperature of 62.8°F (17.1°C) marks the nights throughout May.

Heat index

The average heat index in May is computed to be a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. 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 'feels like', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
