Weather in May
Temperature
With the onset of May, Atlanta observes a minor temperature ascent, with the average high-temperature adjusting from April's 74.8°F (23.8°C) to a still moderately hot 83.3°F (28.5°C). An average low-temperature of 62.8°F (17.1°C) is expected during May.Heat index
May's mean heat index is evaluated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.

In May, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests these recommendations:
Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full 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.
