Weather in May
Temperature
With the onset of May, Lagoa do Sítio's average high-temperature clocks in at a still tropical 31.6°C (88.9°F), showing a minor fluctuation from the previous month. During May, the average low-temperature is a pleasant 20.9°C (69.6°F).Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

In May, the rain falls for 12.7 days. Throughout May, 47mm (1.85") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 152.5 rainfall days, and 872mm (34.33") of precipitation is accumulated.Daylight

Sunshine
The average sunshine in May is 8.4h.UV index
The average daily maximum UV index in May is 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: In May, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try 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.
