Temperature

The transition into May shows a subtle variation to a still hot 32.2°C (90°F) from April's 31.5°C (88.7°F) in the average high-temperature. In Socorro do Piauí, the nighttime temperature averages to an agreeable 21.8°C (71.2°F) during May.

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is calculated to be a blistering 40°C (104°F). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 67%.

Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
