The last month of the spring, May, is also a moderately hot month in Sumatra, Florida, with an average temperature varying between 84.2°F (29°C) and 67.3°F (19.6°C).

Temperature

Sumatra's weather in May shows a minor rise in the average high-temperature, moving slightly up from April's 77.5°F (25.3°C) to a still moderately hot 84.2°F (29°C). Nighttime temperature experiences an average drop to a refreshing 67.3°F (19.6°C) in May.

Heat index

Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.

Note: In May, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear.
