Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is another warm month in Creola, Alabama, with an average temperature ranging between min 65.5°F (18.6°C) and max 85.5°F (29.7°C).

Temperature

With the onset of May, the average high-temperature subtly transitions from 78.4°F (25.8°C) in April to a still moderately hot 85.5°F (29.7°C). The low-temperature in Creola averages to a refreshing 65.5°F (18.6°C) during the nights of May.

Heat index

The heat index in May is estimated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
