May weather forecast
Christmas, FL

May, the last month of the spring in Christmas, is another warm month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 69.3°F (20.7°C) and 85.6°F (29.8°C).

Temperature

May denotes a minimal variation in the average high-temperature to a still warm 85.6°F (29.8°C) from April's 81.5°F (27.5°C). Christmas reports an average nighttime low-temperature of 69.3°F (20.7°C) in May.

Heat index

The average heat index in May is evaluated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

UV index

May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during May leads to these instructions:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
