Weather in May
Temperature
As April gives way to May, the average high-temperature displays a slight ascent, adjusting from 78.4°F (25.8°C) to a still warm 84.7°F (29.3°C). Mount Houmas witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 66°F (18.9°C) throughout May.Heat index
In May, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
