The arrival of May denotes a barely perceptible change in the average high-temperatures to a still tropical 32°C (89.6°F) from April's 33.3°C (91.9°F). Berekuso observes an average low-temperature of 25.2°C (77.4°F) during May.

Heat index

In May, the average heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high 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.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

UV index

January through May, September through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: During May, 7 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days.
