Weather in May

The coming of May brings a minor shift in Abbeville's weather, with average high-temperatures adjusting from April's pleasant 72.1°F (22.3°C) to a moderately hot 80.6°F (27°C). The nighttime temperature in Abbeville dips to an enjoyable 61.3°F (16.3°C) on average during May.Heat index
In May, the average heat index is calculated to be 84.2°F (29°C). Long-lasting exposure and activity potentially induce a sense of weariness, with the risk of heat cramps.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. 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 largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
