Weather in May

May's arrival signals a modest temperature shift, moving from 74.8°F (23.8°C) in April to a still warm 82.9°F (28.3°C). Archibald experiences a mean low-temperature of 64.9°F (18.3°C) during May.Heat index
The heat index value during May is evaluated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Persistently participating in activities during exposure may lead to fatigue and induce heat cramps.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
