Weather in May
Temperature
In Plum, stepping into May brings a gentle temperature nudge, moving slightly up from April's 77.5°F (25.3°C) to a still warm 84°F (28.9°C). Throughout the nights in May, Plum experiences an average low-temperature of 66.4°F (19.1°C).Heat index
May's mean heat index is computed to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
