Weather in May
Temperature
May brings a slight elevation in the average high-temperature, transitioning from April's warm 73.9°F (23.3°C) to a still moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C). In Ward, the expected average low-temperature for May is an enjoyable 62.2°F (16.8°C).Heat index
The heat index value for May is calculated to be a hot 86°F (30°C). If exposure and activity are sustained, they might cause a feeling of weariness, resulting in heat cramps.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
