Weather in May
Temperature
As Wetumpka transitions into May, the average high-temperature is observed to slightly rise from a warm 76.6°F (24.8°C) in April to a still moderately hot 83.7°F (28.7°C). The nighttime temperature, during May, averages of 62.2°F (16.8°C).Heat index
May's mean heat index is evaluated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Constant activity during exposure could result in a state of weariness and possibly heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
