Weather in May
Temperature
With the onset of May, Westlake observes a minor temperature ascent, with the average high-temperature adjusting from April's 77.5°F (25.3°C) to a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C). Westlake records a steady low-temperature average of 68.4°F (20.2°C) during May.Heat index
The heat index value during May is calculated to be a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. 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 of high significance for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
