The commencement of May sees a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from 76.3°F (24.6°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84.6°F (29.2°C). Belcher's nights in May experience an average temperature drop to a refreshing 63.3°F (17.4°C).Heat index
May's heat index is estimated at a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. 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.
