Weather in May
Temperature
May brings a slight rise in Higgston's average high-temperature, moving from a moderately hot 75.4°F (24.1°C) in April to a still warm 82°F (27.8°C). In the month of May, the nighttime temperature dips to a steady average of 64.2°F (17.9°C).Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is computed to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Enduring exposure and unrelenting activity might cause a state of weariness, potentially leading to heat cramps.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.

Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
