Weather in May
Temperature
As May sets, the average high-temperature shows a slight increase, moving up from a moderately hot 77.9°F (25.5°C) in April to a still warm 85.3°F (29.6°C). Bowles observes a distinct decrease from peak daytime temperatures, with an average low-temperature of 63.1°F (17.3°C) throughout the month of May.Heat index
May's average heat index is estimated at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
