Temperature

As Tetrem welcomes May, the average high-temperature stabilizes at a tropical 33.4°C (92.1°F), showing little deviation from April's 35.1°C (95.2°F). Throughout the month of May, Tetrem sees a steady low-temperature average of 22.2°C (72°F).

Heat index

During May, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 51°C (123.8°F). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 82%.

Rainfall

UV index

In Tetrem, the average daily maximum UV index in May is 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: In May, the average maximum UV index of 6 translates into the following recommendations:
Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
