Starke, FL

May, the last month of the spring in Starke, is a tropical month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 86°F (30°C) and an average low of 66.6°F (19.2°C).

Temperature

Starke experiences a recorded average high-temperature of a hot 86°F (30°C) in May, closely aligned with April's 80.8°F (27.1°C). Throughout May, Starke witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 66.6°F (19.2°C).

Heat index

The heat index value for May is computed to be a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 72%.

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 health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
