Weather in May
Temperature
May's onset brings a minor rise in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 76.1°F (24.5°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84.6°F (29.2°C). Kilgore's average low-temperature is measured at a refreshing 63.3°F (17.4°C) during May.Heat index
The heat index value during May is computed to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. 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 highly critical for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
