Weather in May

In Sontag, the average high-temperature in May slightly rises, from a moderately hot 76.6°F (24.8°C) in April, to a still warm 83.8°F (28.8°C). During May, an average low-temperature of 63.1°F (17.3°C) is observed.Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is computed to be a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids.
