Temperature

May proves to be the warmest month, recording an average peak temperature of 41.3°C (106.3°F) and a minimum temperature of 28.8°C (83.8°F).

Heat index

May's heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 52°C (125.6°F). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. 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 quite important for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index in Padra are March through June, with an average maximum UV index of 8. A UV Index reading of 8 to 10 represents a very high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: The daily high UV index of 8 in May translates into this advice:
Be constantly cautious; skin and eyes can be quickly affected if left unprotected. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
