Weather in May
Temperature
The shift from April to May is marked by a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 77.7°F (25.4°C) to a still warm 84.6°F (29.2°C). During the nights in May, Wilson experiences a consistent average temperature of 64.2°F (17.9°C).Heat index
In May, the average heat index is calculated to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days.
