Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is another warm month in Creola, Alabama, with temperature in the range of an average high of 85.5°F (29.7°C) and an average low of 65.5°F (18.6°C).

Temperature

May's arrival brings a modest temperature shift, moving from a moderately hot 78.4°F (25.8°C) in April to a still warm 85.5°F (29.7°C). An average low-temperature of 65.5°F (18.6°C) is common during the nights of May.

Heat index

The average heat index in May is computed to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. 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 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
