Weather in May
Temperature
Observing a slight rise in May, the average high-temperature shifts from April's 78.4°F (25.8°C) to a still moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C). In Pecan Ridge, an average low-temperature of 65.7°F (18.7°C) is recorded during May nights.Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. 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 of high significance for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
