Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is another warm month in Hamburg, Louisiana, with an average temperature fluctuating between 84.2°F (29°C) and 65.5°F (18.6°C).

Temperature

With the onset of May, Hamburg's average high-temperature sees a modest rise, moving from April's 76.8°F (24.9°C) to a still warm 84.2°F (29°C). Nighttime temperature dips to a mean of 65.5°F (18.6°C) during May.

Heat index

During May, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
