Florida in May

May is Florida's transition into summer, for out-of-towners, it will feel much hotter than expected. Mornings can still be comfortable, but temperatures rise quickly after sunrise. Humidity increases throughout the month, and late-May races often see the first regular afternoon thunderstorms of the year.​

​

Tips for Runners:

• Expect a few abnormally hot days, it's harder since heat acclimation most likely hasn't been established yet

• Pavement temperatures can exceed 120°F even when the air temperature is in the upper 80s.

• May is often the last chance to chase a PR before summer temps 

• Runners from all over will converge in the Keys for the Keys 100 ultras. Plan your logistics early
