Weather in May
Temperature
The shift from April to May introduces a subtle increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 73.4°F (23°C) to a still moderately hot 81.5°F (27.5°C). In Holcomb, May nights witness a steady temperature drop to a comfortable 62.1°F (16.7°C).Heat index
May's mean heat index is appraised at a hot 86°F (30°C). Persistently participating in activities during exposure may lead to fatigue and induce heat cramps.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
