Temperature

In May, the average high-temperature registers at a still warm 29.3°C (84.7°F), nearly identical to April's 29.7°C (85.5°F). May nights witness a mild cool down to an average low of 24.8°C (76.6°F).

Heat index

In May, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May in Balut Island is 80%.

Note: An average maximum UV index of 7 in May leads to these recommendations:
Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat. Heed this! UV intensity is much stronger when reflected off sand and water.
