Weather in May
Temperature
In Aratuba, the month of May is known for its lowest average temperatures, reaching a high of 29.8°C (85.6°F) and a low of 20.8°C (69.4°F).Heat index
During May, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
Humidity
In May, the average relative humidity is 82%.Rainfall
In May, the rain falls for 21.4 days. Throughout May, 78mm (3.07") of precipitation is accumulated. In Aratuba, during the entire year, the rain falls for 177 days and collects up to 691mm (27.2") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
The average sunshine in May is 6.6h.UV index
January through July, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: An average maximum UV index of 6 in May leads to these recommendations:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
