Weather in May
Temperature
May sees a marginal temperature increase, moving from 75.7°F (24.3°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.2°F (27.9°C). Savannah's nights in May experience an average temperature drop to a refreshing 67.1°F (19.5°C).Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is appraised at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Long-lasting exposure and activity potentially induce a sense of weariness, with the risk of heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.

A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: During May, 7 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes. Caution! The reflection of sand and water significantly increases the intensity of the Sun's UV radiation.
