Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival shows an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 27.1°C (80.8°F), hardly different from the previous month. During May, Parrita records an average temperature of 21.8°C (71.2°F) at night.Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 30°C (86°F). With sustained exposure and activity, exhaustion becomes probable, resulting in heat cramps.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
