Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival coincides with a subtle temperature rise, moving from April's 76.6°F (24.8°C) to a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C). May nights in Bentley cool down to an average low-temperature of 64.6°F (18.1°C).Heat index
The heat index value for May is appraised at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. 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 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. 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 hold particular significance for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
