Weather in May
Temperature
As Shear transitions into May, a marginal rise in the average high-temperature is observed, moving from 77.7°F (25.4°C) in April to a still warm 85.3°F (29.6°C). During the nights in May, Shear experiences a consistent average temperature of 65.5°F (18.6°C).Heat index
The heat index value during May is estimated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Implement additional cautionary measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Prolonged activity might induce heatstroke.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
Humidity
In May, the average relative humidity is 76%.Rainfall
In Shear, during May, the rain falls for 13.4 days and regularly aggregates up to 2.01" (51mm) of precipitation. In Shear, during the entire year, the rain falls for 163.2 days and collects up to 25.08" (637mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

Sunshine
In May, the average sunshine is 9.5h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests these recommendations:
Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
