May weather forecast
Hoyt, FL

The last month of the spring, May, is a tropical month in Hoyt, Florida, with an average temperature ranging between min 67.5°F (19.7°C) and max 86.2°F (30.1°C).

Temperature

The arrival of May sees a recorded average high-temperature of a tropical 86.2°F (30.1°C), showing little divergence from the previous month's conditions. During May, Hoyt records a consistent average nighttime temperature of 67.5°F (19.7°C).

Heat index

In May, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 73%.

Rainfall

In Hoyt, during May, the rain falls for 12.4 days and regularly aggregates up to 1.02" (26mm) of precipitation. In Hoyt, during the entire year, the rain falls for 147.9 days and collects up to 14.8" (376mm) of precipitation.

Sunshine

May and July, with an average of 10.8h of sunshine, are months with the most sunshine.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In May, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
