Weather in May
Temperature
With the onset of May, Mendenhall's average high-temperature experiences a slight rise, moving from April's warm 76.6°F (24.8°C) to a still moderately hot 83.8°F (28.8°C). Mendenhall, during May, witnesses an average low-temperature of 62.8°F (17.1°C).Heat index
May's mean heat index is evaluated at a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. 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.
