Temperature

With the onset of May, Sapupara's average high-temperature clocks in at a still tropical 30.5°C (86.9°F), showing a minor fluctuation from the previous month. In May, the nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 23.4°C (74.1°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in May is appraised at a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 80%.

Rainfall

In May, the rain falls for 20.6 days. Throughout May, 70mm (2.76") of precipitation is accumulated. In Sapupara, during the entire year, the rain falls for 183.1 days and collects up to 511mm (20.12") of precipitation.

Sunshine

In May, the average sunshine is 7.5h.

UV index

January through March, May through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: In May, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
