Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is another hot month in San Gabriel, Guatemala, with an average temperature fluctuating between 30°C (86°F) and 20.5°C (68.9°F).

Heat index

In May, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. 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. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
