Temperature

The onset of May marks an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C), hardly differing from April's 79.7°F (26.5°C). Sunrise Key nights in May witness a mild cool down to an average temperature of 76.3°F (24.6°C).

Heat index

It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
