Weather in May
Temperature
As May sets, the average high-temperature shows a slight increase, moving up from a moderately hot 73.9°F (23.3°C) in April to a still warm 81.1°F (27.3°C). In May, in Rockridge, Georgia, the average low-temperature is a moderate 60.4°F (15.8°C).Heat index
May's average heat index is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Continued exposure and engagement in activity might trigger tiredness and subsequently heat cramps.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
