Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 33.1°C (91.6°F), nearly identical to April's 33.3°C (91.9°F). La Gomera observes an average low-temperature of 26.4°C (79.5°F) during May nights.Heat index
For May, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
