May weather forecast
Newberry, FL

The last month of the spring, May, is also a moderately hot month in Newberry, Florida, with an average temperature fluctuating between 85.6°F (29.8°C) and 67.1°F (19.5°C).

Temperature

As Newberry welcomes May, the average high-temperature displays a subtle shift, adjusting from 80.2°F (26.8°C) in April to a still warm 85.6°F (29.8°C). The temperature lowers to an average of 67.1°F (19.5°C) during May nights.

Heat index

May's heat index is computed to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. 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 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
