Weather in May
Temperature
The shift into May is marked by a modest rise in the average high-temperature, moving from April's pleasant 73°F (22.8°C) to a moderately hot 80.8°F (27.1°C). Oxford witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 61°F (16.1°C) throughout May.Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is appraised at 84.2°F (29°C). A sense of exhaustion might occur with extended exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
