Weather in May
Temperature
In Thomasville, the average high-temperature in May slightly increases from 78.4°F (25.8°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C). An average low-temperature of 64.8°F (18.2°C) is expected in Thomasville, Georgia, during May.Heat index
For May, the heat index is computed to be a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and 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 particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
