Weather in May
Temperature
Claxton in May experiences a slight uptick in the average high-temperature, adjusting from April's 75.9°F (24.4°C) to a still moderately hot 82.8°F (28.2°C). Claxton's average low-temperature for the month of May records at a refreshing 64.4°F (18°C).Heat index
The heat index for May is computed to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Ongoing exposure and activity could lead to a state of exhaustion, with a chance of heat cramps.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
