Weather in May
Temperature
The average high-temperature during May registers at a still moderately hot 84.2°F (29°C), closely corresponding to the preceding month. Throughout May, Ellenton records an average temperature of 72.7°F (22.6°C) at night.Heat index
For May, the heat index is appraised at a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. 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.

Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit. Alert! The Sun's UV rays are heightened by the reflection of sand and water.
