Temperature

As Colombia, Cuba, welcomes May, the average high-temperature is noted at a still hot 31.6°C (88.9°F), closely aligning with the preceding month. An average low-temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F) is expected in Colombia, Cuba, during May.

Heat index

May's average heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and 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 particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 78%.

Rainfall

In Colombia, in May, during 22.7 rainfall days, 124mm (4.88") of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, in Colombia, there are 202.5 rainfall days, and 785mm (30.91") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

April through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: A typical high UV index of 7 in May suggests the following recommendations:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Stay out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Outfit yourself in sun-safe attire, like long sleeves, pants, a hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
