Weather in May
Temperature
As Nashville transitions into May, the average high-temperature is observed to slightly rise from a warm 77.5°F (25.3°C) in April to a still moderately hot 83.8°F (28.8°C). The nighttime temperature, during May, averages of 64.9°F (18.3°C).Heat index
May's mean heat index is calculated to be a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
