Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Juradó, is another warm month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 29.6°C (85.3°F) and an average low of 22.3°C (72.1°F).

Temperature

The shift to May signals an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.6°C (85.3°F), subtly varied from April's 29.8°C (85.6°F). The average low-temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F) is witnessed during May.

Heat index

The heat index value during May is computed to be a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Humidity

The months with the highest humidity are May, June and September, with an average relative humidity of 90%.

Rainfall

In Juradó, during May, the rain falls for 29.8 days and regularly aggregates up to 312mm (12.28") of precipitation. In Juradó, during the entire year, the rain falls for 344.5 days and collects up to 3074mm (121.02") of precipitation.

Sea temperature

May is the month with the warmest seawater, with an average sea temperature of 29°C (84.2°F).
Note: Between 25°C (77°F) and 29°C (84.2°F), water temperature is typically considered very warm and pleasurable by everyone. Water activities at these temperatures are enjoyable for extended periods without discomfort.

Daylight

The average length of the day in May is 12h and 27min.
On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 05:56 and sunset at 18:19. On the last day of May, sunrise is at 05:53 and sunset at 18:24 -05.

Sunshine

In Juradó, the average sunshine in May is 7.3h.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through September, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: In May, a regular UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat. Caution! The Sun's UV intensity grows with reflections off sand and water.
