Weather in May
Temperature
The embrace of May brings a minor uplift in the average high-temperature, shifting from 75.2°F (24°C) in April to a still warm 82.2°F (27.9°C). During May, Whitney observes a consistent average nighttime temperature of 64.4°F (18°C).Heat index
In May, the average heat index is estimated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Persistent activity under exposure might lead to a feeling of weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
