I wouldn't hike NH or ME in May. The Whites could still be winter-like as can ME. It's also mud season.

In April and May unless a big storm hits the normal temps are in the 40's overnight. Most hikers like a 20 or 30 degree bag. As the other poster said New Hampshire is not so hikable in April, late May is a little better.

The temps in GA/VA in April and NH/ME in May will be about the same, though it depends where you are in the states.
