Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is also a moderately hot month in Niceto Perez, Cuba, with an average temperature fluctuating between 22.2°C (72°F) and 29.9°C (85.8°F).

Temperature

The advent of May denotes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.9°C (85.8°F), subtly different from April's 29.6°C (85.3°F). Throughout May, a steady low-temperature average of 22.2°C (72°F) is noted.

Heat index

For May, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are April through October, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: A daily high UV index of 7 in May leads to these guidelines:
Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. 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. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
