Temperature

The onset of May brings a minor temperature shift, with the average high-temperature moving from a warm 74.7°F (23.7°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.4°F (28°C). Throughout May in Maxwell, a steady low-temperature average of 61.9°F (16.6°C) is noted.

Heat index

In May, the heat index is appraised at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Long-standing exposure and activity could induce a feeling of tiredness and lead to heat cramps.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
