Weather in May
Temperature
In The Woodlands, the average high-temperature in May slightly rises, from a moderately hot 79.3°F (26.3°C) in April, to a hot 86.4°F (30.2°C). In The Woodlands, May nights cool down to an average of 68.2°F (20.1°C).Heat index
During May, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
