Weather in May
Temperature
As Durant welcomes May, the average high-temperature sees a modest rise, transitioning from a moderately hot 74.1°F (23.4°C) in April to a still warm 82.8°F (28.2°C). The average nighttime temperature lowers to a refreshing 62.2°F (16.8°C) throughout May.Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Prolonged exposure and physical activity might induce exhaustion, potentially causing heat cramps.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing 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.
