Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival brings a slight change in high-temperatures, adjusting from a moderately hot 74.8°F (23.8°C) in April to a still warm 81.3°F (27.4°C). May nights in Forestdale observe an average temperature dip to an enjoyable 66°F (18.9°C).Heat index
The average heat index in May is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Unrelenting activity during exposure could cause fatigue and potentially lead to heat cramps.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
