Weather in May
Temperature
The unfolding of May shows an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.4°C (88.5°F), indicating a slight variance from April's 31°C (87.8°F). Cana Chapetón temperatures generally rest at a low of 21.1°C (70°F) during the May nights.Heat index
In May, the average heat index is calculated to be a scorching 40°C (104°F). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
