Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Gulf Breeze, is another warm month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 82.9°F (28.3°C) and 69.3°F (20.7°C).

Temperature

As Gulf Breeze transitions into May, a marginal rise in the average high-temperature is observed, moving from a moderately hot 75.7°F (24.3°C) in April to a still warm 82.9°F (28.3°C). An average temperature of 69.3°F (20.7°C) is recorded during the nights in May.

Heat index

In May, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Prolonged exposure combined with continuous activity could lead to exhaustion, and possibly heat cramps.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. 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 extremely significant for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.

Humidity

In Gulf Breeze, the average relative humidity in May is 72%.

Rainfall

The month with the least rainfall is May, when the rain falls for 10.1 days and typically collects 1.14" (29mm) of precipitation.

Ocean temperature

In Gulf Breeze, in May, the average water temperature is 76.6°F (24.8°C).
Note: Your comfort in 76.6°F (24.8°C) waters hinges on your relationship with the cold, today's sunny disposition, wind patterns, and the air's temperature. For context, Olympic swimmers are no strangers to waters of 77°F (25°C) to 82.4°F (28°C).

On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 6:04 am and sunset at 7:26 pm. On the last day of May, sunrise is at 5:47 am and sunset at 7:45 pm CDT.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: In May, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects. Alert! Sand and water increase UV exposure due to their reflective properties.
