Temperature

Trilcoochee's entry into May measures an average high-temperature of a hot 86.2°F (30.1°C), closely parallel to the preceding month. An average nighttime temperature of 67.8°F (19.9°C) is noted during the month of May.

Heat index

During May, the heat index is appraised at a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial 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.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 73%.

UV index

May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The daily maximum UV index of 7 in May interprets into the following advice:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. 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. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
