Weather in May
Temperature
The coming of May brings a minor shift in Sweet Home's weather, with average high-temperatures adjusting from April's moderately hot 78.4°F (25.8°C) to a still warm 85.1°F (29.5°C). Throughout the month of May, the nighttime temperature dips to an average of 67.6°F (19.8°C).Heat index
For May, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
