May weather forecast
La Trinidad, Philippines

May, the last month of the spring in La Trinidad, is another hot month, with an average temperature varying between 21.2°C (70.2°F) and 30.2°C (86.4°F).

Temperature

May's arrival shows an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.2°C (86.4°F), hardly different from the previous month. La Trinidad experiences an average low-temperature of 21.2°C (70.2°F) in the month of May.

Heat index

May's heat index is evaluated at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 78%.

UV index

With an average maximum UV index of 7, May is the month with the highest UV index in La Trinidad. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: In May, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
