Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is another warm month in Hestle, Alabama, with an average temperature fluctuating between 62.6°F (17°C) and 85.3°F (29.6°C).

Temperature

As May begins, there's a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 77.7°F (25.4°C) in April to a still warm 85.3°F (29.6°C). Hestle's daily high temperature significantly diverges from the consistently recorded temperature low averaging an enjoyable 62.6°F (17°C) in May.

Heat index

In May, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. 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 extremely significant 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.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
