May weather forecast
Mejicanos, El Salvador

Come May, the weather conditions take a turn with a sudden surge in precipitation, recording a massive amount of 234mm (9.21") rainfall. The temperatures, however, maintain a plateau, remaining relatively close to those seen in April. An increase in cloud cover results to a low visibility of 9km (5.6mi), a slight decrease from April's 10km (6.2mi). The weather remains resonant with a comfortable relative humidity level despite the heightened rainfall. Interestingly, the calm wind pattern undergoes a slight shift with a drop to 5.1km/h (3.2mph), thereby easing the overall impact of the weather.

As April transitions into May, the average high-temperature rests at a still tropical 30.9°C (87.6°F), maintaining a close resemblance to the previous month. May brings with it a nighttime average temperature of 22.7°C (72.9°F) in Mejicanos.

Heat index

In May, the average heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Inhibit overexposure. Warding off sun damage is of utmost importance. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
