Weather in May
Temperature
Observing a slight rise in May, the average high-temperature shifts from April's 77.7°F (25.4°C) to a still warm 85.3°F (29.6°C). A noteworthy thermal contrast characterizes Prairie's May nights, with temperatures averaging at a comfortable 62.6°F (17°C).Heat index
The heat index in May is evaluated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Sunshine

In Prairie, the average daily maximum UV index in May is 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests this advice:
Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
