Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Manso, is also a hot month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 25.2°C (77.4°F) and an average high of 30.9°C (87.6°F).

Temperature

May's beginning signals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.9°C (87.6°F), barely different from April's 32.3°C (90.1°F). Manso experiences an average low-temperature of 25.2°C (77.4°F) in the month of May.

Heat index

May's average heat index is estimated at a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

The average relative humidity in May is 80%.

Note: In May, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. Outfit yourself in sun-safe attire, like long sleeves, pants, a hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
