Weather in May
Temperature
A slight uplift of average high-temperatures is noted in May, with temperatures adjusting from a moderately hot 74.5°F (23.6°C) in April to a still warm 81.5°F (27.5°C). Beech Island's temperature tends to fall to an average low of 63.7°F (17.6°C) during the nights of May.Heat index
May's heat index is evaluated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). A sense of exhaustion might occur with extended exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up 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.
