Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is a tropical month in Howey Height, Florida, with an average temperature fluctuating between 86.5°F (30.3°C) and 68.5°F (20.3°C).

Temperature

Howey Height starts May with an average high-temperature of a tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C), a minor shift from April's 82°F (27.8°C). Howey Height's nights in May experience an average temperature drop to an agreeable 68.5°F (20.3°C).

Heat index

May's average heat index is computed to be a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
