Weather in May

Carrollton warmly welcomes May with increasing temperatures and extended day length. While the expected rain may contribute to a small rise in relative humidity, it could provide a slight respite from the searing heat. Winds are noticeably mild, hardly interfering with outdoor activities. The increased sunlight exposure amplifies the overall experience of a typical Texas summer. Residents may need to consider protective measures due to a higher UV index, which indicates a stronger sun.

Temperature

The onset of May in Carrollton marks a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 75°F (23.9°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.2°F (27.9°C). Throughout May, Carrollton witnesses a nighttime temperature average of 64.8°F (18.2°C).

Heat index

Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
