Weather in May
Temperature
With the transition into May, Alas notes an average high-temperature of a still warm 27.6°C (81.7°F), closely resembling April. The month of May shows a minor drop from daytime temperatures, generally recording a low average of 24°C (75.2°F).Heat index
The heat index value for May is appraised at a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). Fatigue might occur with continuous exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.

Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
