Weather in May
Temperature
The commencement of May sees a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from 24.6°C (76.3°F) in April to a still warm 28.4°C (83.1°F). Yuanshan's temperature lowers to a mean of 22.9°C (73.2°F) during the nights in May.Heat index
In May, the average heat index is calculated to be a tropical 32°C (89.6°F). Persisting in activity during exposure could lead to weariness and subsequently to heat cramps.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
