Weather in May
Temperature
As May begins, there's a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 74.5°F (23.6°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.2°F (27.9°C). During the nights in May, Ben Wheeler experiences a consistent average temperature of 62.8°F (17.1°C).Heat index
May's average heat index is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Exhaustion becomes probable with enduring exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
