Paracuru, Brazil

May, the last month of the autumn in Paracuru, is another warm month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 29.4°C (84.9°F) and 25.3°C (77.5°F).

Temperature

The shift to May signals an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.4°C (84.9°F), subtly varied from April's warm 29.4°C (84.9°F). Paracuru observes a consistent average low-temperature of 25.3°C (77.5°F) throughout May nights.

Heat index

The heat index value during May is estimated at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades. Attention! UV strength is notably upped by the reflection of sand and water.
