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 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, a slight decrease from April's 10km. 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, thereby easing the overall impact of the weather.

Temperature

Mejicanos's May average high-temperature settles at a still tropical 30.9°C, showing a near match with the preceding month. During May, Mejicanos's temperature falls to a steady low-temperature average of 22.7°C.

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 39°C. Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 76%.

Rainfall

The month with the most rainfall is May, when the rain falls for 25.5 days and typically aggregates up to 234mm of precipitation.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are January, May, June, August through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In May, a daily maximum UV index of 6 leads to the following instructions:
Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades.
