Weather in May
Temperature
Entering May, Mathiston notices a subtle temperature elevation, with the average high-temperature advancing from April's moderately hot 73.6°F (23.1°C) to a still warm 81.5°F (27.5°C). During May, the nighttime temperature averages of 62.1°F (16.7°C).Heat index
The heat index in May is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). One might feel worn out with persistent exposure and activity, resulting in heat cramps.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
