Weather in May
Temperature
The coming of May brings a minor shift in Skidmore's weather, with average high-temperatures adjusting from April's moderately hot 80.2°F (26.8°C) to a hot 86°F (30°C). Skidmore anticipates an average minimum temperature of 69.8°F (21°C) in the month of May.Heat index
The heat index in May is appraised at a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight 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 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
