Weather in May
Temperature
May is marked by an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.3°C (88.3°F), almost identical to the preceding month. In May, the recorded average low-temperature in Yumbi is an agreeable 22.8°C (73°F).Heat index
The heat index value for May is estimated at a blistering 40°C (104°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. 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 of high significance for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
