Weather in May
Temperature
The shift from April to May introduces a subtle increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 74.3°F (23.5°C) to a still warm 82.2°F (27.9°C). An average nighttime temperature of 64.4°F (18°C) is observed in Cary during May.Heat index
In May, the heat index is calculated to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). A sense of exhaustion might occur with extended exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
