May, the last month of the spring in Princeton, is another warm month, with an average temperature varying between 63.5°F (17.5°C) and 84.7°F (29.3°C).

Temperature

The onset of May brings a minor temperature shift, with the average high-temperature moving from a moderately hot 76.5°F (24.7°C) in April to a still warm 84.7°F (29.3°C). Princeton records an average low-temperature of 63.5°F (17.5°C) throughout the month of May.

The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. 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 especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
