The last month of the spring, May, is a tropical month in Arcadia, Florida, with temperature in the range of an average high of 87.4°F (30.8°C) and an average low of 69.4°F (20.8°C).

Temperature

Arcadia's weather in May, with an average high-temperature of a hot 87.4°F (30.8°C), subtly shifts from April's 83.8°F (28.8°C). Arcadia records an average nighttime low-temperature of 69.4°F (20.8°C) throughout May.

Heat index

May's mean heat index is computed to be a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.
Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
