May weather forecast
Ball, LA

May ushers in an early summer feel in Ball, with the temperatures making a further climb. With the sun gaining strength, daylight hours reach their spring zenith. The humidity is notable, but the heat is far from oppressive. The last traces of the spring blooms can still be seen, enhancing the town’s charm. Even though rainfall inches up more than previous months, it rarely dampens the high spirits of May.

Temperature

May comes with a subtle rise, with the average high-temperature adjusting from 76.6°F (24.8°C) in April to a still warm 84.7°F (29.3°C). During May, an average low-temperature of 64.6°F (18.1°C) is observed.

Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
