Weather in May
Temperature
As May arrives, a slight rise in the average high-temperature is observed, moving from a warm 76.6°F (24.8°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C). West End's average low-temperature for the month of May records at a pleasant 70.9°F (21.6°C).Heat index
May's average heat index is evaluated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.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 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
