Weather in May
Temperature
May introduces a marginal temperature uplift, with average high-temperatures adjusting from April's 76.5°F (24.7°C) to a still moderately hot 83.5°F (28.6°C). Throughout May nights, La Porte registers an average low-temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C).Heat index
The heat index for May is evaluated at a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
