Weather in May
Temperature
As Merryville enters May, the average high-temperature marginally increases from the 78.3°F (25.7°C) of April to a still warm 85.8°F (29.9°C). Throughout May, an average nighttime temperature of 65.5°F (18.6°C) is experienced in Merryville.Heat index
The heat index in May is estimated at a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance 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 combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
