Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Verdun, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 84.7°F (29.3°C) and min 66°F (18.9°C).

Temperature

As Verdun welcomes May, the average high-temperature displays a subtle shift, adjusting from 78.4°F (25.8°C) in April to a still warm 84.7°F (29.3°C). Verdun observes an average low-temperature of 66°F (18.9°C) during May nights.

Heat index

The average heat index in May is evaluated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
