Weather in May
Temperature
The onset of May marks a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 77.9°F (25.5°C) in April to a still moderately hot 85.3°F (29.6°C). Gantt experiences a consistent, yet significant, drop from daily highs to a low-temperature of 63.3°F (17.4°C) throughout May.Heat index
May's mean heat index is computed to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
