Weather in May

The onset of May introduces a subtle rise in the average high-temperature, nudging from a warm 77.2°F (25.1°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84.6°F (29.2°C). In May, the recorded average low-temperature in Arceneaux is an enjoyable 67.6°F (19.8°C).Heat index
The heat index for May is computed to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
