Weather in May
Temperature
The commencement of May sees a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from a moderately hot 77.5°F (25.3°C) in April to a still warm 84.4°F (29.1°C). The average low-temperature reading in May for Waynesboro reflects a significant fall from the daytime highs, stabilizing at a refreshing 62.4°F (16.9°C).Heat index
May's mean heat index is computed to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
