Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Alligator, is a moderately hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 81°F (27.2°C) and 64.8°F (18.2°C).

Temperature

Alligator observes a slight uplift in the average high-temperature with the onset of May, adjusting from April's agreeable 72.5°F (22.5°C) to a moderately hot 81°F (27.2°C). May's average low-temperature reading settles at an enjoyable 64.8°F (18.2°C).

Heat index

May's mean heat index is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Uninterrupted activity during exposure could lead to a sense of exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
