Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival sees a mild rise in the average high-temperature, transitioning from April's warm 74.3°F (23.5°C) to a still moderately hot 81.9°F (27.7°C). During May, Aiken detects a significant contrast from its daytime temperatures, with nights averaging at a mild 59.4°F (15.2°C).Heat index
May's mean heat index is computed to be 82.4°F (28°C). Enduring exposure and unrelenting activity might cause a state of weariness, potentially leading to heat cramps.Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
