Weather in May
Temperature
The shift from April to May sees a slight increase in the average high-temperature, transitioning from a moderately hot 77.7°F (25.4°C) to a still warm 85.3°F (29.6°C). Sunny South observes a dramatic plunge from daytime highs in May, settling at an average low-temperature of 62.6°F (17°C).Heat index
In May, the average heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical 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.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
