May weather forecast
Paes Landim, Brazil

May, the last month of the autumn in Paes Landim, is another tropical month, with an average temperature ranging between min 21.8°C (71.2°F) and max 32.2°C (90°F).

Temperature

The ushering in of May brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.2°C (90°F), closely mirroring the 31.5°C (88.7°F) of April. Nighttime temperatures hover around an average low of 21.8°C (71.2°F) in May.

Heat index

During May, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. 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.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 67%.
