Weather in May
Temperature
The average high-temperature in May, at a still warm 29.4°C (84.9°F), reveals a modest deviation from April's 28.8°C (83.8°F). In May, La Jaguita's temperature tends to fall to an average low of 20.4°C (68.7°F) during the night.Heat index
During May, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.

Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
