May weather forecast
Edwin, French Guiana

May, the last month of the spring in Edwin, is also a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 22°C (71.6°F) and max 30.1°C (86.2°F).

Temperature

With May's advent, Edwin sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.1°C (86.2°F), subtly shifted from April's 30.2°C (86.4°F). Edwin experiences an average temperature drop to a pleasant 22°C (71.6°F) during May nights.

Heat index

May's heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
