Weather in May
Temperature
As Riesel welcomes May, the average high-temperature sees a modest rise, transitioning from 75.7°F (24.3°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.4°F (28°C). An average low-temperature of 64.9°F (18.3°C) is observed during May nights.Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). If one continues to be active during enduring exposure, it could result in fatigue and heat cramps.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
