Weather in May
Temperature
May signals a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from April's warm 77.9°F (25.5°C) to a still moderately hot 85.3°F (29.6°C). May nights in Kinston experience a consistent temperature drop to a comfortable 64°F (17.8°C).Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
