Weather in May
Temperature
The transition from April to May brings an average high-temperature of a tropical 30.6°C (87.1°F), barely different from April's 29.9°C (85.8°F). Machuruca, during May nights, witnesses an average temperature marginally cooler than its daytime highs, at a moderately hot 26.8°C (80.2°F).Heat index
In May, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during May translates into the following recommendations:
Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
