Weather in May
Temperature
In River Ridge, stepping into May brings a gentle temperature nudge, moving slightly up from April's moderately hot 76.6°F (24.8°C) to a still warm 82.9°F (28.3°C). The average low-temperature during May nights is a pleasant 70°F (21.1°C).Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). One might feel worn out with persistent exposure and activity, resulting in heat cramps.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. 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.
