Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Enterprise, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature varying between 64.9°F (18.3°C) and 83.7°F (28.7°C).

Temperature

As Enterprise welcomes May, the average high-temperature displays a subtle shift, adjusting from 75.7°F (24.3°C) in April to a still moderately hot 83.7°F (28.7°C). Enterprise observes an average low-temperature of 64.9°F (18.3°C) during May nights.

Heat index

May's average heat index is appraised at a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important 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.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
