Weather in May
Temperature
The shift into May is accompanied by a modest temperature increase, with the average high-temperature edging up from an agreeable 72.9°F (22.7°C) in April to a warm 81.1°F (27.3°C). Nighttime temperature in Montpelier dips to a mean of 61.9°F (16.6°C) during May.Heat index
May's mean heat index is computed to be a hot 86°F (30°C). With unrelenting exposure and activity, one might experience exhaustion, leading to potential heat cramps.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful 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.
