Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival brings a modest temperature shift, moving from 77.5°F (25.3°C) in April to a still warm 84.6°F (29.2°C). Sanford's temperature drops to an average low of 63.5°F (17.5°C) during the nights of May.Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
