Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is another warm month in Huntsville, Texas, with an average temperature varying between 65.5°F (18.6°C) and 85.6°F (29.8°C).

Temperature

May brings a slight elevation in the average high-temperature, transitioning from April's moderately hot 78.4°F (25.8°C) to a still warm 85.6°F (29.8°C). Throughout May nights, Huntsville registers an average low-temperature of 65.5°F (18.6°C).

Heat index

In May, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
