Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is also a moderately hot month in Highpoint, Florida, with an average temperature ranging between min 73°F (22.8°C) and max 83.7°F (28.7°C).

Temperature

With the onset of May, a modest change to a still warm 83.7°F (28.7°C) from April's 79.2°F (26.2°C) is noted in high-temperature. An average low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) is noted during the nights in May.

Heat index

The average heat index in May is computed to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Long-standing exposure coupled with ongoing activity could result in exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital 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.
