Weather in May
Temperature
Arcadia's transition into May is marked by a minor temperature shift, moving from 75.7°F (24.3°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84°F (28.9°C). During May, an average low-temperature of 63.1°F (17.3°C) is observed in Arcadia.Heat index
In May, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
