May, the last month of the spring in Tallahassee, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature varying between 64.8°F (18.2°C) and 82.4°F (28°C).

Temperature

Tallahassee's transition into May is noticed by a slight rise in the average high-temperature, advancing from 75.7°F (24.3°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.4°F (28°C). Tallahassee, in May, observes a steady average low-temperature of 64.8°F (18.2°C).

Heat index

For May, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Persistently participating in activities during exposure may lead to fatigue and induce heat cramps.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
