Weather in May
Temperature
The embrace of May brings a minor uplift in the average high-temperature, shifting from 73.4°F (23°C) in April to a still moderately hot 81°F (27.2°C). In Dawkins, the average nighttime temperature during May is a comfortable 61.2°F (16.2°C).Heat index
The heat index in May is computed to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Continuous activity in exposure could lead to a feeling of fatigue and heat cramps.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.

Sunshine
The average sunshine in May in Dawkins is 9.9h.UV index
In May, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: The daily maximum UV index of 6 in May interprets into the following advice:
Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
