The last month of the spring, May, is a tropical month in Phifer, Florida, with an average temperature fluctuating between 86.2°F (30.1°C) and 66.9°F (19.4°C).

Temperature

Phifer, Florida, perceives a slight temperature ascent during May, with average high-temperatures adjusting from a moderately hot 80.8°F (27.1°C) in April to a hot 86.2°F (30.1°C). The average nighttime temperature lowers to a comfortable 66.9°F (19.4°C) throughout May.

Heat index

May's mean heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
