Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Broughton, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature varying between 81.1°F (27.3°C) and 60.4°F (15.8°C).

Temperature

The beginning of May marks a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from April's warm 73.4°F (23°C) to a still moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C). In May, the average low-temperature is a moderate 60.4°F (15.8°C).

Heat index

The heat index value during May is computed to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). With ongoing exposure and activity, one might experience weariness, and heat cramps could ensue.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
