As April transitions into May, a subtle temperature shift is observed, with average highs adjusting from a warm 73.9°F (23.3°C) to a still moderately hot 81.3°F (27.4°C). In Dentsville, an average nighttime temperature of 63.1°F (17.3°C) is expected during May.Heat index
The heat index value for May is evaluated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Continuous activity in exposure could lead to a feeling of fatigue and heat cramps.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
