Weather in May
Temperature
The coming of May brings a minor shift in Sycamore's weather, with average high-temperatures adjusting from April's 75°F (23.9°C) to a still moderately hot 81.7°F (27.6°C). May generally records an average low-temperature of 64°F (17.8°C).Heat index
The heat index for May is estimated at a hot 86°F (30°C). Exhaustion is likely with prolonged exposure and activity. Sustaining activity may result in heat cramps.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely 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.
