Weather in May
Temperature
May's onset brings a minor rise in the average high-temperature, moving from 74.1°F (23.4°C) in April to a still moderately hot 81.7°F (27.6°C). May in Whitfield generally records an average low-temperature of 60.4°F (15.8°C).Heat index
The heat index in May is calculated to be a hot 86°F (30°C). Persisting in activity during exposure could lead to weariness and subsequently to heat cramps.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
