Weather in May
Temperature
May introduces a minor temperature shift, with average high-temperatures adjusting from April's warm 73.4°F (23°C) to a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C). During May nights, Itta Bena records an average temperature of 64.2°F (17.9°C).Heat index
May's heat index is calculated to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). If one stays active during extended exposure, it might induce fatigue and result in heat cramps.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. 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 especially vital to children. 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.
