Temperature

Shifting into May, De Kinderen records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.5°C (86.9°F), presenting minor fluctuations compared to the previous month. De Kinderen witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 23.1°C (73.6°F) throughout May.

Heat index

During May, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 40°C (104°F). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 82%.

Note: During May, 6 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
