Weather in May
Temperature
With the onset of May, Gilchrist's average high-temperature sees a modest rise, moving from April's 76.1°F (24.5°C) to a still warm 82.8°F (28.2°C). Throughout the month of May, Gilchrist witnesses an average low-temperature of 70.5°F (21.4°C).Heat index
The heat index value for May is evaluated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
