Temperature

The start of May brings a subtle rise in the average high-temperature, moving from a moderately hot 80.2°F (26.8°C) in April to a still warm 85.6°F (29.8°C). In Waters Lake, an average nighttime temperature of 67.1°F (19.5°C) is expected during May.

Heat index

The heat index in May is calculated to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
