Weather in May
Temperature
As Dégrad Blockauss, French Guiana, welcomes May, the average high-temperature records at a still warm 28.6°C (83.5°F), marking an insignificant deviation from the prior month. Nighttime temperature sees a small decrement from daytime highs, dipping to an average of 24.7°C (76.5°F) during May.Heat index
For May, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
