Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Melbourne Beach, is another warm month, with an average temperature varying between 81.1°F (27.3°C) and 73°F (22.8°C).

Temperature

May's beginning signals an average high-temperature of a still warm 81.1°F (27.3°C), barely different from April's 77.5°F (25.3°C). A mean low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) is a distinguishing feature of May, indicating a slight dip from daytime highs.

Heat index

The average heat index in May is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Prolonged exposure combined with continuous activity could lead to exhaustion, and possibly heat cramps.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
