May weather forecast
Guadalupe, El Salvador

May, the last month of the spring in Guadalupe, is also a hot month, with an average temperature varying between 22.8°C (73°F) and 32.3°C (90.1°F).

Temperature

In the transition from April to May, Guadalupe reports an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.3°C (90.1°F), indicating a close resemblance to the prior month. During May, Guadalupe's temperature falls to a steady low-temperature average of 22.8°C (73°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for May is computed to be a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Observe: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is on the horizon with prolonged exertion.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through May and July, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests these recommendations:
Continue precautions and advocate sun safety advice. Deterrence of sunburn is indispensable. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
