Weather in May

Amarillo's average low-temperature for the month of May denotes a significant decline from the daily high, recording at a refreshing 56.8°F (13.8°C).Heat index
May's mean heat index is calculated to be 80.6°F (27°C). Continuous exposure and activity could induce a sense of tiredness and subsequently, heat cramps.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
