The last month of the spring, May, is also a moderately hot month in Sylvan Lake, Florida, with an average temperature ranging between max 85.5°F (29.7°C) and min 69.1°F (20.6°C).

Temperature

The arrival of May brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 85.5°F (29.7°C), subtly diverging from April's 81.5°F (27.5°C). During May, the temperature is averaged to a low of 69.1°F (20.6°C) at night.

Heat index

The average heat index in May is calculated to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
