Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is a tropical month in Achan, Florida, with an average temperature varying between 68.7°F (20.4°C) and 86.7°F (30.4°C).

Temperature

May experiences an average high-temperature of a tropical 86.7°F (30.4°C), barely different from April's 82.8°F (28.2°C). May nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 68.7°F (20.4°C).

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

In May, the average relative humidity is 72%.

Note: The UV index of 7 during May leads to these advisories:
Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
