Weather in May
Temperature
High Shoals's May weather indicates a minor increase in high-temperatures, edging from April's pleasant 72.9°F (22.7°C) to a moderately hot 80.8°F (27.1°C). In May, High Shoals's temperature tends to fall to an average low of 60.4°F (15.8°C) during the night.Heat index
May's heat index is estimated at 84.2°F (29°C). Long-lasting exposure and activity potentially induce a sense of weariness, with the risk of heat cramps.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
