May weather forecast
Cobija, Bolivia

May offers noticeably drier conditions in comparison to April, as rainfall significantly drops from 133mm (5.24") to 85mm (3.35"). Temperatures show a gradual downtrend, making the weather more comfortable yet still providing adequate warmth. As days become dryer and warmer, the sky is adorned with less cloud cover, rendering enjoyable sunshine hours. With the onset of breezier conditions, May signals an end to the wet season and anticipates the start of the winter months. May weather favors outdoor activities with its moderately warm temperatures and reduced rainfall.

Temperature

With the onset of May, a modest change to a still moderately hot 29.7°C (85.5°F) from April's 29.8°C (85.6°F) is noted in high-temperature. The nighttime temperature, during May, averages of 19.8°C (67.6°F).

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial.

Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious.
