Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is also a moderately hot month in Malvern, Alabama, with an average temperature ranging between min 65.3°F (18.5°C) and max 84.7°F (29.3°C).

Temperature

The start of May brings a subtle shift in the average high-temperature, edging up from April's moderately hot 78.1°F (25.6°C) to a still warm 84.7°F (29.3°C). Throughout May, the nighttime temperature averages to a comfortable 65.3°F (18.5°C).

Heat index

During May, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.

May and October, with an average relative humidity of 69%, are the least humid months in Malvern.

UV index

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during May translates into these guidelines:
Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
