Weather in May
Temperature
As April gives way to May, the average high-temperature displays a slight ascent, adjusting from a warm 78.4°F (25.8°C) to a still moderately hot 85.5°F (29.7°C). Throughout May, Walker registers a consistent average low-temperature of 65.5°F (18.6°C).Heat index
The heat index for May is calculated to be a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
