Weather in May

May denotes a clear departure from the spring and signals the beginnings of summer in Monticello. As temperatures continue to rise, the city transforms into a warm, sun-drenched paradise. With diminished wind speed, the air holds a sense of stillness, allowing the heat to hang longer in the atmosphere. There is a substantial drop in rainfall to 3.98" (101mm) from the previous high in March and April, inducing a drier spell. Consequently, longer sunshine hours teamed up with high temperatures, leading to numerous opportunities to soak up the sun and explore the outdoors.

May's arrival brings a slight change in high-temperatures, adjusting from an agreeable 73°F (22.8°C) in April to a warm 81.1°F (27.3°C). The average low-temperature, in May, is a refreshing 63.5°F (17.5°C).

Heat index

Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people.
