Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is a hot month in Sunniland, Florida, with an average temperature fluctuating between 87.3°F (30.7°C) and 70.3°F (21.3°C).

Temperature

The arrival of May brings an average high-temperature of a tropical 87.3°F (30.7°C), subtly diverging from April's 84.7°F (29.3°C). During May, Sunniland consistently records a temperature low averaging an agreeable 70.3°F (21.3°C).

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
