Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival is noted with a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a moderately hot 76.1°F (24.5°C) in April to a still warm 83.5°F (28.6°C). In Lawrence, the nighttime temperature averages to a comfortable 62.2°F (16.8°C) during May.Heat index
The heat index value during May is appraised at a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
