The last month of the spring, May, is also a hot month in Canan, Philippines, with an average temperature fluctuating between 24.8°C (76.6°F) and 34.3°C (93.7°F).

Temperature

Canan experiences the peak of its temperatures in April and May, when the average high-temperatures rise to 34.3°C (93.7°F).

Heat index

The heat index for May is appraised at a burning hot 49°C (120.2°F). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 essentially critical for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

Adhere to precautions and respect sun safety doctrines. Avoiding sunburn is vital. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
