Weather in May
Temperature
As April transitions into May, Arkwright notices a gentle rise in the average high-temperature, transitioning from a pleasant 73.2°F (22.9°C) to a moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C). During May nights, Arkwright records an average temperature of 60.3°F (15.7°C).Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Ongoing activity coupled with exposure often results in weariness and could induce heat cramps.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
