Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is another warm month in Winnfield, Louisiana, with an average temperature varying between 84.9°F (29.4°C) and 64°F (17.8°C).

Temperature

The shift from April to May is marked by a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a moderately hot 76.6°F (24.8°C) to a still warm 84.9°F (29.4°C). An average low-temperature of 64°F (17.8°C) is noted during the nights in May.

Heat index

May's heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
