Weather in May
Temperature
As April transitions into May, a subtle temperature shift is observed, with average highs adjusting from a moderately hot 77.7°F (25.4°C) to a still warm 85.3°F (29.6°C). In May, Shear encounters an average low-temperature of 65.5°F (18.6°C) during the night.Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

The months with the highest UV index are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.Note: The UV index of 7 during May leads to these advisories:
Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
