Weather in May
Temperature
As Palatka transitions from April to May, the average high-temperatures adjust to a hot 86.4°F (30.2°C), nearly the same as the previous 81.7°F (27.6°C). Palatka, in the month of May, anticipates a consistent average low-temperature of 67.3°F (19.6°C).Heat index
The heat index value for May is estimated at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
