Weather in May
Temperature
May marks a minor ascent in the average high-temperature, adjusting from April's 78.8°F (26°C) to a still warm 85.6°F (29.8°C). Throughout the month of May, the average temperature in Stafford, Texas, dips to an agreeable 69.3°F (20.7°C) at night.Heat index
For May, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
