Weather in May
Temperature
With the beginning of May, Clearwater's average high-temperature sees a minor increase, transitioning from 74.7°F (23.7°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C). An average low-temperature of 63.3°F (17.4°C) is recorded in the month of May.Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 86°F (30°C). Continuous activity in exposure could lead to a feeling of fatigue and heat cramps.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
