The last month of the spring, May, is another warm month in Benson Junction, Florida, with an average temperature ranging between max 85.5°F (29.7°C) and min 69.1°F (20.6°C).

Temperature

At the start of May, Benson Junction's average high-temperature reaches a still moderately hot 85.5°F (29.7°C), subtly different from the preceding month. Throughout May, a steady low-temperature average of 69.1°F (20.6°C) is noted.

Heat index

May's mean heat index is appraised at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 significance for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
