Weather in May
Temperature
With the onset of May, Whitehead observes a minor temperature ascent, with the average high-temperature adjusting from April's agreeable 72.7°F (22.6°C) to a warm 81.1°F (27.3°C). During the nights in May, Whitehead observes an average low-temperature of 64.8°F (18.2°C).Heat index
The average heat index in May is appraised at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Persistent activity under exposure might lead to a feeling of weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.

Stick with precautions and abide by sun safety procedures. Evading sunburn is essential. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
