Weather in May
Temperature
May's climate shows a minor adjustment in average high-temperatures to a still tropical 31.4°C (88.5°F) from April's 31°C (87.8°F). Throughout May, Maizal witnesses a nighttime temperature average of 21.1°C (70°F).Heat index
In May, the average heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
