Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May brings a soft temperature shift, with the average high-temperature nudging from 78.4°F (25.8°C) in April to a still moderately hot 85.3°F (29.6°C). During the month of May, Arlington experiences a steady low-temperature average of 66°F (18.9°C).Heat index
The heat index value during May is computed to be a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
