Weather in May
Temperature
As April transitions into May, a subtle temperature shift is observed, with average highs adjusting from a moderately hot 78.3°F (25.7°C) to a still warm 85.1°F (29.5°C). Throughout May, Buffalo Gap notes a dramatic plunge from the daily high to an average low-temperature of 63.1°F (17.3°C).Heat index
May's mean heat index is calculated to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). If one remains active during constant exposure, it might cause exhaustion and heat cramps.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
