Weather in May

The start of May signals a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from an agreeable 72.3°F (22.4°C) in April to a moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C). May brings Water Valley a consistent average low-temperature of 61.9°F (16.6°C).Heat index
The heat index value during May is calculated to be a hot 86°F (30°C). Fatigue might occur with continuous exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
