Weather in May
Temperature
The shift from April to May sees a slight increase in the average high-temperature, transitioning from 78.4°F (25.8°C) to a still moderately hot 85.1°F (29.5°C). Woodhaven throughout May, experiences an average nighttime temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
