Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Refugio, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 84.6°F (29.2°C) and 71.2°F (21.8°C).

Temperature

As April gives way to May, the average high-temperature displays a slight ascent, adjusting from 78.8°F (26°C) to a still warm 84.6°F (29.2°C). Throughout May nights, Refugio registers an average low-temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C).

Heat index

May's mean heat index is evaluated at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
