Weather in May
Temperature
At the start of May, El Mamey's average high-temperature reaches a still tropical 31.4°C (88.5°F), subtly different from the preceding month. During the nights in May, the temperature averages to a pleasant 21.1°C (70°F).Heat index
May's average heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. 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. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
Humidity
In El Mamey, the average relative humidity in May is 73%.Rainfall
May is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 19.3 days and accumulates 73mm (2.87") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
In El Mamey, the average sunshine in May is 9.1h.UV index
May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: The daily high UV index of 7 in May translates into this advice:
Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
