Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival is noted with a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 76.8°F (24.9°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C). The low-temperature average for Driftwood during May stands at a comfortable 65.5°F (18.6°C).Heat index
For May, the heat index is appraised at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). If one remains active during constant exposure, it might cause exhaustion and heat cramps.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
