Weather in May
Temperature
In Fort Walton Beach, stepping into May brings a gentle temperature nudge, moving slightly up from April's warm 74.3°F (23.5°C) to a still moderately hot 81.9°F (27.7°C). During the month of May, Fort Walton Beach's nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 69.8°F (21°C).Heat index
The heat index value during May is calculated to be a hot 86°F (30°C). If one continues to be active during exposure, it might cause tiredness and subsequent heat cramps.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. 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. 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 important for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
