Temperature

Rital, Florida, marks the start of May with an average high-temperature of a hot 86.2°F (30.1°C), hinting at a slight fluctuation from April's 82°F (27.8°C). Throughout the month of May, Rital observes an average nighttime temperature of 67.8°F (19.9°C).

Heat index

In May, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. 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 'real feel', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
