Weather in May
Temperature
Palmar Abajo marks the start of May with an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.6°C (85.3°F), hinting at a slight fluctuation from April's 29.5°C (85.1°F). Throughout the May nights, Palmar Abajo encounters a low-temperature of 19.9°C (67.8°F).Heat index
In May, the heat index is appraised at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
