Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival signals a subtle increase in average high-temperatures, moving from April's warm 75.4°F (24.1°C) to a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C). The temperature in Ridgeville lowers to an average of 63.7°F (17.6°C) during May nights.Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is calculated to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Persisting in activity during exposure could lead to weariness and subsequently to heat cramps.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values remain especially vital 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.
