Weather in May
Temperature
Gualete, Dominican Republic, experiences a minor change to a still hot 31.4°C (88.5°F) in average high-temperature during May, closely reflecting April. Throughout May, an average low-temperature of 21.1°C (70°F) is expected.Heat index
May's mean heat index is computed to be a scorching 40°C (104°F). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
