Weather in May

May marks the advent of summer in Florida, Cuba with a notable surge in temperatures and rainfall. It is perhaps the wettest month with rainfall peaking at 103mm (4.06"). The rise in humidity levels could lead to a sultry weather, but the high number of sunshine hours provides some respite. A noticeable decrease in daily sunlight hours is seen, while the rainfall days jump up significantly. Beach-goers and tourists might want to check the forecast regularly to avoid getting caught in a sudden downpour.

Temperature

The unfolding of May in Florida shows an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.3°C (88.3°F), indicating a slight variance from April's 31.7°C (89.1°F). Florida records a steady low-temperature average of 22.4°C (72.3°F) during May.

Heat index

May's average heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
