Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is another warm month in Zulu, Alabama, with an average temperature varying between 61.9°F (16.6°C) and 82.9°F (28.3°C).

Temperature

As May sets, the average high-temperature shows a slight increase, moving up from 75°F (23.9°C) in April to a still warm 82.9°F (28.3°C). An average low-temperature of 61.9°F (16.6°C) is expected during May.

Heat index

May's average heat index is evaluated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). If one persists in activity during exposure, it could induce weariness and subsequently, heat cramps.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. 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 largely significant 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.
