Suwannee Springs's transition into May is marked by a minor temperature shift, moving from a moderately hot 80.2°F (26.8°C) in April to a hot 86.4°F (30.2°C). Suwannee Springs cools down to an average low-temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C) throughout the month of May.

Heat index

The heat index for May is calculated to be a fiery hot 96.8°F (36°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
