May weather forecast
Citrus Park, FL

The last month of the spring, May, is a tropical month in Citrus Park, Florida, with an average temperature ranging between max 86°F (30°C) and min 71.6°F (22°C).

Temperature

May's presence marks an average high-temperature of a tropical 86°F (30°C), subtly varied from April's 81.7°F (27.6°C). Nightly temperatures drop to an average low of 71.6°F (22°C) in May.

Heat index

The heat index in May is computed to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Humidity

The least humid month is May, with an average relative humidity of 69%.

Rainfall

In May, the rain falls for 15.5 days. Throughout May, 2.64" (67mm) of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 178.2 rainfall days, and 32.87" (835mm) of precipitation is accumulated.

Note: The UV index of 7 during May translates into the following guidance:
Persist with precautions and heed sun safety advice. Prevention of sunburn is compulsory. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
