Weather in May
Temperature
As Hillsdale transitions into May, the average high-temperature is observed to slightly rise from a warm 78.8°F (26°C) in April to a still moderately hot 85.3°F (29.6°C). Hillsdale's average low-temperature is measured at a refreshing 64.4°F (18°C) during May.Heat index
May's heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. 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 especially crucial for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

In May, the average relative humidity is 74%.Rainfall
In Hillsdale, during May, the rain falls for 11.7 days and regularly aggregates up to 1.42" (36mm) of precipitation. Throughout the year, in Hillsdale, there are 147.6 rainfall days, and 16.65" (423mm) of precipitation is accumulated.Snowfall

Sunshine
In May, the average sunshine is 9.7h.UV index
The average daily maximum UV index in May is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.Note: A maximum high UV index of 6 in May translates into the following recommendations:
Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
