The last month of the spring, May, is another tropical month in San Francisco de Paula, Cuba, with an average temperature ranging between min 23.1°C (73.6°F) and max 31.1°C (88°F).

Temperature

With the start of May, San Francisco de Paula measures an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.1°C (88°F), not significantly differing from April's 30.7°C (87.3°F). The average temperature in San Francisco de Paula drops to a moderately hot 23.1°C (73.6°F) during the night in the month of May.

Heat index

The heat index in May is estimated at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.
Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

UV index

March through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during May translates into these guidelines:
Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
