Temperature

May's presence records an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.5°C (90.5°F), closely mirroring April's climate. In May, the nighttime temperature in Zè lowers to an average of 26.3°C (79.3°F).

Heat index

The heat index in May is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. 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 especially vital to children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 75%.

Rainfall

In Zè, during May, the rain falls for 12.1 days and regularly aggregates up to 40mm (1.57") of precipitation. In Zè, during the entire year, the rain falls for 148.7 days and collects up to 481mm (18.94") of precipitation.

UV index

January through May, August, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during May translates into these guidelines:
Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. 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. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear.
