Temperature

The introduction of May sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.5°C (86.9°F), hardly deviating from April. Amazon experiences a mean low-temperature of 23.1°C (73.6°F) during May.

Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Emphasize additional safety, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is high. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 82%.

Rainfall

In Amazon, Guyana, during May, the rain falls for 28.8 days and regularly aggregates up to 148mm (5.83") of precipitation. In Amazon, during the entire year, the rain falls for 312.9 days and collects up to 1254mm (49.37") of precipitation.

UV index

January, February, May, June and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index, 6 in May, converts into the following recommendations:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
