Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is a tropical month in Balm, Florida, with an average temperature varying between 86.4°F (30.2°C) and 70.3°F (21.3°C).

Temperature

As Balm transitions from April to May, the average high-temperatures adjust to a hot 86.4°F (30.2°C), nearly the same as the previous 82°F (27.8°C). In May, the average low-temperature in Balm records at a pleasant 70.3°F (21.3°C) during the nights.

Heat index

In May, the average heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

For a sun-safe wardrobe, go for clothes that are tightly woven and generously sized.
