Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Prairie View, is another warm month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 67.1°F (19.5°C) and an average high of 85.1°F (29.5°C).

Temperature

With the onset of May, the average high-temperature subtly transitions from 78.1°F (25.6°C) in April to a still moderately hot 85.1°F (29.5°C). Throughout May, Prairie View anticipates an average low-temperature of 67.1°F (19.5°C).

Heat index

In May, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
