Weather in May
Temperature
May brings a slight rise in Gonzales's average high-temperature, moving from a moderately hot 78.4°F (25.8°C) in April to a still warm 84.9°F (29.4°C). In the month of May, the average temperature dips to a comfortable 67.5°F (19.7°C) during the night.Heat index
In May, the average heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Emphasize additional safety, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is high. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
