In Blanks, the onset of May comes with a modest high-temperature shift, transitioning from April's 78.1°F (25.6°C) to a still warm 85.3°F (29.6°C). In May, the temperature drops to an average of 64.9°F (18.3°C) at night.

Heat index

Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
