May weather forecast
Lake Alfred, FL

The last month of the spring, May, is a tropical month in Lake Alfred, Florida, with an average temperature fluctuating between 86.4°F (30.2°C) and 68.9°F (20.5°C).

Temperature

With the onset of May, the average high-temperature registers at a tropical 86.4°F (30.2°C), subtly different from April's 82.8°F (28.2°C). Lake Alfred's May nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 68.9°F (20.5°C).

Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
