Weather in May
Temperature
With the onset of May, the average high-temperature subtly transitions from 77°F (25°C) in April to a still warm 83.8°F (28.8°C). Clayton, during May, witnesses an average low-temperature of 63.7°F (17.6°C).Heat index
For May, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Persisting in activity during long-term exposure might induce weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. 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 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
