Weather in May
Temperature
Observing a minor shift, the average high-temperature during May adjusts from April's 78.3°F (25.7°C) to a still moderately hot 85.8°F (29.9°C). During May, Burkeville observes a consistent average nighttime temperature of 65.5°F (18.6°C).Heat index
During May, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
