Temperature

The beginning of May reveals an average high-temperature of a warm 29.6°C (85.3°F), showing minimal deviation from the previous month. In Becerril, May's nights observe an average temperature dip to a comfortable 19.8°C (67.6°F).

Heat index

The heat index in May is estimated at a torrid 35°C (95°F). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. 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 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 75%.

UV index

January, March through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index in Becerril, Colombia. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: An average UV index of 6 in May transforms into this advice:
Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. 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. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
