Weather in May
Temperature
In Cottondale, the onset of May comes with a modest high-temperature shift, transitioning from April's warm 78.3°F (25.7°C) to a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C). During May, Cottondale records an average temperature of 65.7°F (18.7°C) at night.Heat index
In May, the average heat index is appraised at a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
