Weather in May
Temperature
A gentle upsurge in temperatures occurs as April gives way to May, with average highs shifting from 78.4°F (25.8°C) to a still moderately hot 85.8°F (29.9°C). In Leakesville, May nights witness a remarkable decline from the day's zenith to a refreshing 63.7°F (17.6°C).Heat index
In May, the average heat index is calculated to be a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Sunshine
The average sunshine in May is 10.2h.UV index
In May, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: The maximum daily UV index of 6 during May translates into the following directions:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
