Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Gulf Stream, is another warm month, with an average temperature ranging between max 81.3°F (27.4°C) and min 75.9°F (24.4°C).

Temperature

May's arrival shows an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.3°F (27.4°C), hardly different from the previous month. A consistent nighttime average temperature of 75.9°F (24.4°C) is maintained during May.

Heat index

In May, the average heat index is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Uninterrupted activity during exposure could lead to a sense of exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. 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 'apparent temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. 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 quite important for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
