Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is another warm month in Dayton, Texas, with an average temperature fluctuating between 85.5°F (29.7°C) and 67.6°F (19.8°C).

Temperature

May's arrival coincides with a subtle temperature rise, moving from April's warm 78.1°F (25.6°C) to a still moderately hot 85.5°F (29.7°C). During the nights in May, Dayton experiences a consistent average temperature of 67.6°F (19.8°C).

Heat index

The heat index value during May is estimated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
