Weather in May
Temperature
As May sets, the average high-temperature shows a slight increase, moving up from a moderately hot 77.7°F (25.4°C) in April to a still warm 85.3°F (29.6°C). In May, Dawsons endures a notable temperature shift from day to night, with lows averaging at a comfortable 62.6°F (17°C).Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly 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.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
