Weather in May
Temperature
The commencement of May introduces an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.4°C (84.9°F), closely mirroring the preceding month. Joba Arriba, in the month of May, anticipates a consistent average low-temperature of 20.4°C (68.7°F).Heat index
For May, the heat index is appraised at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 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.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in May is 82%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is May, when the rain falls for 26.9 days and typically aggregates up to 142mm (5.59") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
The average sunshine in May is 8.4h.UV index
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 exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: In May, a daily maximum UV index of 6 leads to the following instructions:
Take precautions and utilize sun safety practices. Protection against skin and eye damage is required. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
