Worthington Springs, FL

May, the last month of the spring in Worthington Springs, is a hot month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 86.2°F (30.1°C) and an average low of 66.7°F (19.3°C).

Temperature

The shift from April to May introduces a subtle increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a moderately hot 80.6°F (27°C) to a tropical 86.2°F (30.1°C). Worthington Springs's nighttime temperature in May falls to an average of 66.7°F (19.3°C).

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
