Weather in May
Temperature
With the onset of May, Auburn observes a minor temperature ascent, with the average high-temperature adjusting from April's 75.4°F (24.1°C) to a still warm 83.3°F (28.5°C). Auburn observes a dramatic plunge from daytime highs in May, settling at an average low-temperature of 61.7°F (16.5°C).Heat index
May's heat index is calculated to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Enduring exposure and continuous activity might cause a feeling of tiredness and induce heat cramps.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. 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 remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
