Weather in May
Temperature
With the onset of May, Pulaski's weather sees a minor temperature rise, transitioning from 75.9°F (24.4°C) in April to a still moderately hot 83.5°F (28.6°C). Pulaski observes an average nighttime temperature of 62.2°F (16.8°C) during May.Heat index
In May, the average heat index is calculated to be a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. 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', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. 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. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
