The last month of the spring, May, is another warm month in Axle, Alabama, with an average temperature varying between 84.9°F (29.4°C) and 62.6°F (17°C).

Temperature

May's arrival coincides with a marginal rise in the average high-temperature, moving from April's 78.1°F (25.6°C) to a still moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C). Throughout May nights, Axle reports a steady thermal contrast from the day, with an average low-temperature of 62.6°F (17°C).

Heat index

Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
