Weather in May
Temperature
A minor escalation in the average high-temperature is seen with the onset of May, moving from a moderately hot 75.7°F (24.3°C) in April to a still warm 82.2°F (27.9°C). Oglethorpe observes an average nighttime low-temperature of 63.9°F (17.7°C) during the month of May.Heat index
For May, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). If exposure and activity persist, fatigue could ensue, possibly leading to heat cramps.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
