Temperature
May's onset is marked by a subtle temperature increase, moving from 75.6°F (24.2°C) in April to a still warm 82.2°F (27.9°C). In Hampton, the May nights cool down to an average low of 64°F (17.8°C).Heat index

One might feel worn out with persistent exposure and activity, resulting in heat cramps.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
