Weather in May
Temperature
Observing a minor shift, the average high-temperature during May adjusts from April's warm 78.4°F (25.8°C) to a still moderately hot 85.1°F (29.5°C). In Abilene, the average temperature during the nights of May drops to an enjoyable 63.7°F (17.6°C).Heat index
The heat index value during May is appraised at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Persisting in activity during long-term exposure might induce weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful 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.
