Weather in May
Temperature
The embrace of May brings a minor uplift in the average high-temperature, shifting from 78.3°F (25.7°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C). In Port Hudson, the average nighttime temperature during May is a refreshing 64.9°F (18.3°C).Heat index
During May, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. 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 'real feel', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
