Weather in May
Temperature
A minor escalation in the average high-temperature is seen with the onset of May, moving from a warm 76.5°F (24.7°C) in April to a still moderately hot 83.7°F (28.7°C). Rafn usually reports an average low-temperature of 63.1°F (17.3°C) during the month of May.Heat index
May's average heat index is estimated at a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. 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', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance 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.
