Weather in May
Temperature
In May, the meteorological conditions subtly change with the average high-temperature edging from 77°F (25°C) in April to a still moderately hot 85.1°F (29.5°C). May nights are characterized by a notable drop from daytime highs, with an average low-temperature of 63.5°F (17.5°C).Heat index
The heat index in May is computed to be a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
Humidity
In May, the average relative humidity is 75%.Rainfall
May is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 14.2 days and accumulates 4.72" (120mm) of precipitation.Snowfall
April through November are months without snowfall.Daylight
In May, the average length of the day is 13h and 49min.On the first day of May in East Point, sunrise is at 6:26 am and sunset at 7:54 pm. On the last day of the month, sunrise is at 6:08 am and sunset at 8:15 pm CDT.
Sunshine
In May, the average sunshine is 9.2h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.Note: An average UV index of 7 in May transforms into this advice:
Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
