May weather forecast
Wacahoota, FL

The last month of the spring, May, is another warm month in Wacahoota, Florida, with an average temperature varying between 66.9°F (19.4°C) and 85.6°F (29.8°C).

Temperature

In May, the average high-temperature marginally rises from a moderately hot 80.2°F (26.8°C) in April to a still warm 85.6°F (29.8°C). Throughout May, a steady low-temperature average of 66.9°F (19.4°C) is noted.

Heat index

May's average heat index is appraised at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Note: The average daily UV index of 7 in May transforms into the following instructions:
Stick with precautions and abide by sun safety procedures. Evading sunburn is essential. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
