Weather in May
Temperature
Elkhart's transition into May is noticed by a slight rise in the average high-temperature, advancing from 77.4°F (25.2°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C). May witnesses an average nighttime temperature of 64°F (17.8°C).Heat index
During May, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
