May, the last month of the spring in Denmark, is another warm month, with an average temperature varying between 81.1°F (27.3°C) and 63.7°F (17.6°C).

Temperature

The shift from April to May sees a slight increase in the average high-temperature, transitioning from a warm 74.1°F (23.4°C) to a still moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C). Nighttime temperature dips to a mean of 63.7°F (17.6°C) during May.

Heat index

Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
