Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May signals a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 73.4°F (23°C) in April to a still moderately hot 81.3°F (27.4°C). Mountain Brook registers a consistent average low-temperature of 61°F (16.1°C) during May.Heat index
The average heat index in May is appraised at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Continued exposure and engagement in activity might trigger tiredness and subsequently heat cramps.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
