May, the last month of the spring in Vance, is a moderately hot month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 81.1°F (27.3°C) and an average low of 64.8°F (18.2°C).

Temperature

May's arrival coincides with a subtle temperature rise, moving from April's pleasant 72.7°F (22.6°C) to a moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C). An average temperature of 64.8°F (18.2°C) marks the nights in May.

Heat index

The heat index value for May is computed to be a hot 86°F (30°C). Exposure and extended activity could potentially cause a state of fatigue and lead to heat cramps.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
