Weather in May
Temperature
May brings a slight elevation in the average high-temperature, transitioning from April's 77.9°F (25.5°C) to a still warm 85.3°F (29.6°C). Wilcox observes a dramatic plunge from daytime highs in May, settling at an average low-temperature of 63.1°F (17.3°C).Heat index
The heat index value during May is computed to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
