Weather in May
Temperature
Colfax's weather shows a minor temperature rise with the arrival of May, moving from 76.8°F (24.9°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C). Throughout the nights in May, Colfax experiences an average low-temperature of 64.4°F (18°C).Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. 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 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. 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 are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
