Weather in May
Temperature
As May begins, there's a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from an agreeable 72.1°F (22.3°C) in April to a moderately hot 80.6°F (27°C). An average low-temperature of 61°F (16.1°C) is observed in Fulton during the May nights.Heat index
In May, the average heat index is computed to be 84.2°F (29°C). Persisting in activity during long-term exposure might induce weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
