Weather in May
Temperature
Bosobolo records an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.7°C (89.1°F) in May, maintaining a close correlation with April's 33.1°C (91.6°F). During the nights in May, Bosobolo experiences a consistent average temperature of 21.4°C (70.5°F).Heat index
The average heat index in May is evaluated at an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

May through October, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: A maximum high daily UV index of 6 during May translates into the following directions:
Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear.
