Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is a tropical month in Shenandoah, Texas, with temperature in the range of an average high of 86.4°F (30.2°C) and an average low of 68.2°F (20.1°C).

Temperature

May showcases a minor temperature ascent, adjusting from April's moderately hot 79.3°F (26.3°C) to a hot 86.4°F (30.2°C). Shenandoah experiences an average low-temperature of 68.2°F (20.1°C) in the month of May.

Heat index

The heat index value during May is calculated to be a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal.

A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
