Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival coincides with a marginal rise in the average high-temperature, moving from April's 77.7°F (25.4°C) to a still warm 84.7°F (29.3°C). An average nighttime temperature of 63.7°F (17.6°C) is noted in McLaurin, Mississippi, during the month of May.Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
