Weather in May
Temperature
With the onset of May, Smoaks's average high-temperature sees a modest rise, moving from April's 75.7°F (24.3°C) to a still moderately hot 82.8°F (28.2°C). Throughout May, Smoaks witnesses a nighttime temperature average of 64.2°F (17.9°C).Heat index
The heat index value during May is evaluated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). A sense of exhaustion might occur with extended exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
