Atherton observes a slight ascent in average high-temperatures during May, adjusting from 74.3°F (23.5°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.4°F (28°C). Throughout the month of May, the nighttime temperature dips to an average of 64.9°F (18.3°C).Heat index
In May, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Prolonged activity during exposure might result in a state of fatigue and cause heat cramps.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
