Weather in May
Temperature
The shift into May is marked by a modest rise in the average high-temperature, moving from April's moderately hot 82.4°F (28°C) to a hot 88.3°F (31.3°C). The month of May records an average low-temperature of 69.6°F (20.9°C).Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
