Weather in May
Temperature
May's onset is marked by a subtle temperature increase, moving from a warm 78.4°F (25.8°C) in April to a still moderately hot 85.3°F (29.6°C). The Shire experiences a nighttime temperature average of 66°F (18.9°C) during May.Heat index
May's average heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Undertake additional safety actions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Persistent activity may induce heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
