Weather in May
Temperature
In Odessa, the onset of May comes with a modest high-temperature shift, transitioning from April's moderately hot 80.2°F (26.8°C) to a tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C). A sharp reduction from the daytime highs is witnessed during May, with nighttime temperatures averaging a low of 63.9°F (17.7°C).Heat index
The heat index value for May is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). If one endures exposure and continues to be active, it might result in tiredness and heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
