May weather forecast
Echague, Philippines

May, the last month of the spring in Echague, is another tropical month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 31.9°C (89.4°F) and an average low of 22.7°C (72.9°F).

Temperature

The average high-temperature is a still tropical 31.9°C (89.4°F) in May, hardly different from the 30.8°C (87.4°F) recorded in April. An average nighttime temperature of 22.7°C (72.9°F) is observed in Echague during May.

Heat index

May's mean heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Humidity

May and June, with an average relative humidity of 78%, are the least humid months.

Rainfall

In Echague, during May, the rain falls for 21.1 days and regularly aggregates up to 89mm (3.5") of precipitation. In Echague, during the entire year, the rain falls for 222.7 days and collects up to 872mm (34.33") of precipitation.

Sunshine

In May, the average sunshine is 10.9h.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are April through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: The UV index of 7 during May translates into the following guidance:
Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage.
