Temperature

As Montejo steps into May, the average high-temperature holds at a still tropical 31°C (87.8°F), hinting at a minor fluctuation from the prior month. Throughout May, a steady low-temperature average of 22°C (71.6°F) is noted.

Heat index

May's average heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. 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.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

UV index

April through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index, 7 in May, converts into the following recommendations:
Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
