Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is also a moderately hot month in Burke, Louisiana, with an average temperature ranging between min 67.6°F (19.8°C) and max 84.7°F (29.3°C).

Temperature

A minor escalation in the average high-temperature is seen with the onset of May, moving from a warm 77.5°F (25.3°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C). Burke in May anticipates an average nighttime temperature of 67.6°F (19.8°C).

Heat index

In May, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
