Weather in May
Temperature
As April transitions into May, a subtle temperature shift is observed, with average highs adjusting from a pleasant 73°F (22.8°C) to a moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C). In May, Carolina experiences a temperature dip to an average of 61.5°F (16.4°C) at night.Heat index
May's mean heat index is estimated at a hot 86°F (30°C). Continuous activity in exposure could lead to a feeling of fatigue and heat cramps.Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. 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', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. 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 largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.

Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun 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.
