Weather in May
Temperature
May signals a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from April's 73.9°F (23.3°C) to a still warm 80.8°F (27.1°C). Cordova reports an average nighttime low-temperature of 63.1°F (17.3°C) in May.Heat index
For May, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). If one persists in activity during exposure, it could induce weariness and subsequently, heat cramps.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
