Weather in May
Temperature
In Sylvester, the onset of May comes with a modest high-temperature shift, transitioning from April's 75.9°F (24.4°C) to a still moderately hot 82.8°F (28.2°C). Sylvester's nights in May cool down to an average low-temperature of 64.9°F (18.3°C).Heat index
May's heat index is calculated to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Exposure and extended activity could potentially cause a state of fatigue and lead to heat cramps.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations 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 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
