Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Agua Escondida, is also a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 30°C (86°F) and min 20.5°C (68.9°F).

Temperature

The shift to May signals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30°C (86°F), subtly varied from April's 31.3°C (88.3°F). In Agua Escondida, the average temperature during the nights of May drops to a pleasant 20.5°C (68.9°F).

Heat index

The heat index in May is estimated at a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. 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 are primarily vital for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
