Weather in May
Temperature
Arroyo Blanco records a slight change with May's average high-temperatures adjusting to a still moderately hot 29.4°C (84.9°F) from April's 28.8°C (83.8°F). Arroyo Blanco, during May, witnesses an average low-temperature of 20.4°C (68.7°F).Heat index
May's mean heat index is computed to be a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

The months with the lowest UV index are January through May, July through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: The UV index of 6 during May translates into the following guidance:
Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
