Weather in May

May experiences a considerable rise in temperature, aligning with the typical hot and humid summer weather of Beaumont, Texas. Greater daylight hours imply a longer duration for outdoor activities. The rainy season begins to set in with May, though the occurrence of rain is quite sporadic. With May's arrival, the wind speeds witness a slight decline. Notably, the maximum rainfall occurs in this month, totaling at 3.82in.

Temperature

A gentle upsurge in temperatures occurs as April gives way to May, with average highs shifting from 78.4°F (25.8°C) to a still moderately hot 85.1°F (29.5°C). During the month of May, the temperature falls to an average of 68.9°F (20.5°C).

Heat index

The heat index in May is computed to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
