Weather in May
Temperature
The transition from April to May sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.4°C (88.5°F), indicating a minor variance from the prior month. The mean low-temperature during May nights in Palo Amarillo is an agreeable 21.1°C (70°F).Heat index
May's average heat index is estimated at a scorching 40°C (104°F). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. 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 essentially critical for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
