Weather in May
Temperature
The coming of May brings a minor shift in Ashdown's weather, with average high-temperatures adjusting from April's moderately hot 73.6°F (23.1°C) to a still warm 82°F (27.8°C). In Ashdown, May nights cool down to an average of 61.5°F (16.4°C).Heat index
The heat index in May is appraised at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). With constant exposure and activity, a state of weariness might ensue, leading to potential heat cramps.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. 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.
