Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is another warm month in Snow Hill, Alabama, with an average temperature varying between 62.6°F (17°C) and 85.3°F (29.6°C).

Temperature

The beginning of May marks a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from April's warm 77.7°F (25.4°C) to a still moderately hot 85.3°F (29.6°C). Throughout the month of May, Snow Hill observes a dramatic downturn from the daytime peak temperatures, expecting an average low of 62.6°F (17°C).

Heat index

The heat index value during May is estimated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
