Temperature

Bondigui's weather in May, with an average high-temperature of a still very hot 37.9°C (100.2°F), subtly shifts from April's 39.3°C (102.7°F). An average low-temperature of 26.3°C (79.3°F) is anticipated throughout the nights during May.

Heat index

The heat index value for May is appraised at a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F). Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite 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.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 51%.

UV index

February through May, with an average maximum UV index of 8, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 8 to 10 represents a very high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index, 8 in May, converts into the following recommendations:
Always remain cautious. Unprotected skin and eyes are prone to swift harm. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
