Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival in Panama City brings a modest temperature shift, moving from a moderately hot 75.6°F (24.2°C) in April to a still warm 81.9°F (27.7°C). In Panama City, in May, the average low-temperature is a pleasant 69.6°F (20.9°C).Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is computed to be a hot 86°F (30°C). If one remains active during constant exposure, it might cause exhaustion and heat cramps.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
