Weather in May
Temperature
As Clarkston, Georgia, welcomes May, the average high-temperature displays a subtle shift, adjusting from an agreeable 72.9°F (22.7°C) in April to a moderately hot 81°F (27.2°C). Clarkston encounters a steady low-temperature average of 61.3°F (16.3°C) throughout the month of May.Heat index
May's heat index is calculated to be 84.2°F (29°C). Exposure and extended activity could potentially cause a state of fatigue and lead to heat cramps.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
