Weather in May
Temperature
As May begins, there's a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a moderately hot 78.4°F (25.8°C) in April to a still warm 85.3°F (29.6°C). Throughout May, the temperature in Old Jefferson tends to fall to a consistent average low of 66°F (18.9°C).Heat index
For May, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. 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 largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
