Weather in May
Temperature
The onset of May brings a minor temperature shift, with the average high-temperature moving from 78.1°F (25.6°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C). Albany's nighttime temperature in May falls to an average of 63.7°F (17.6°C).Heat index
May's mean heat index is evaluated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Persistent activity under exposure might lead to a feeling of weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
