Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is also a moderately hot month in Nellie, Alabama, with an average temperature ranging between max 85.3°F (29.6°C) and min 62.6°F (17°C).

Temperature

With the onset of May, Nellie observes a minor temperature ascent, with the average high-temperature adjusting from April's moderately hot 77.7°F (25.4°C) to a still warm 85.3°F (29.6°C). Nellie anticipates a pronounced temperature drop from daily highs during the nights of May, with an average low of 62.6°F (17°C).

Heat index

During May, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. 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.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
