Weather in May
Temperature
Wham's transition into May is marked by a minor temperature shift, moving from 75.2°F (24°C) in April to a still moderately hot 83.5°F (28.6°C). Wham, during May nights, observes an average temperature of 64.9°F (18.3°C).Heat index
The heat index for May is computed to be a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. 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 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
