Weather in May
Temperature
The transition from April to May brings a subtle temperature rise, with average high-temperatures increasing from 73.6°F (23.1°C) to a still warm 81.9°F (27.7°C). An average temperature of 61.3°F (16.3°C) is recorded in Reader during the nights in May.Heat index
May's heat index is evaluated at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Prolonged exposure and physical activity might induce exhaustion, potentially causing heat cramps.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
