Weather in May
Temperature
With the onset of May, the average high-temperature stands at a still hot 30.3°C (86.5°F), closely aligned with April's 30.4°C (86.7°F). An average temperature of 23.9°C (75°F) is recorded in Maracanaú, Brazil, during the nights in May.Heat index
The heat index for May is appraised at a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
