Weather in May
Temperature
May begins with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 92.8°F (33.8°C), reflecting close similarity to the preceding month. Arkansas City experiences a mean low-temperature of 72.9°F (22.7°C) during May.Heat index
In May, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 111.2°F (44°C). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
