During May, Bisonó observes a subtle ascent to a still moderately hot 29.6°C (85.3°F) from April's 29.5°C (85.1°F) in the average high-temperature. An average low-temperature of 19.9°C (67.8°F) is observed during the May nights.

Heat index

In May, the average heat index is computed to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 79%.

Persist in precautions and follow sun safety policies. Keeping sunburn at bay is imperative. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
