Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May witnesses a small shift in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 76.6°F (24.8°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C). Throughout the May nights, Dodson encounters a low-temperature of 64°F (17.8°C).Heat index
In May, the average heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are of high significance for children. 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.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
