Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May signals a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a moderately hot 78.4°F (25.8°C) in April to a tropical 86°F (30°C). Rochester, during the nights of May, registers a substantial plunge from the daytime high, averaging at a refreshing 63.9°F (17.7°C).Heat index
May's heat index is appraised at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). One might feel worn out with persistent exposure and activity, resulting in heat cramps.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. 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 are particularly relevant to 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.
