Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is another warm month in China, Alabama, with an average temperature ranging between max 85.3°F (29.6°C) and min 63.1°F (17.3°C).

Temperature

The commencement of May sees a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from a moderately hot 77.9°F (25.5°C) in April to a still warm 85.3°F (29.6°C). The temperature notes a substantial fall from the daily peak to an average of 63.1°F (17.3°C) during May nights.

Heat index

May's heat index is computed to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

In China, Alabama, the average relative humidity in May is 73%.

Rainfall

In May, the rain falls for 13.1 days. Throughout May, 3.11" (79mm) of precipitation is accumulated. In China, during the entire year, the rain falls for 176.5 days and collects up to 37.72" (958mm) of precipitation.

Sunshine

In May, the average sunshine is 10.3h.

UV index

In China, Alabama, the average daily maximum UV index in May is 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests this advice:
Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
