Weather in May
Temperature
May witnesses a minor rise in the average high-temperature, transitioning from 79°F (26.1°C) in April to a still moderately hot 85.1°F (29.5°C). In the month of May, Kirby experiences an average low-temperature of 66.7°F (19.3°C).Heat index
For May, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
