Weather in May
Temperature
With the onset of May, Arcadia Lakes's weather sees a minor temperature rise, transitioning from a warm 73.9°F (23.3°C) in April to a still moderately hot 81.3°F (27.4°C). Throughout the nights in May, an average low-temperature of 63.1°F (17.3°C) is noted.Heat index
The heat index value during May is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). If exposure and activity persist, fatigue could ensue, possibly leading to heat cramps.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
