Weather in May
Temperature
Duke's weather in May shows a minor rise in the average high-temperature, moving slightly up from April's 73.6°F (23.1°C) to a still moderately hot 82.2°F (27.9°C). Despite considerable daily temperature swings, a steady low-temperature average of 60.4°F (15.8°C) is noted throughout May.Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is evaluated at 84.2°F (29°C). When exposure and activity are sustained, they could induce fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
