May weather forecast
Enmore, Guyana

Rising temperatures in Enmore, Guyana herald the arrival of May, intensifying the heat experienced in the previous months. Rainfall achieves a significant peak at 148mm (5.83"), marking the highest point in the first half of the year. This surge in both sweltering conditions and precipitation contributes to the heightened humidity levels in May. The extended daylight hours, still on a gradual increasing trajectory, imply brighter, longer days. Meanwhile, wind speeds calm down, contrasting markedly with the weather's other extreme elements.

Temperature

The average high-temperature is a still hot 30.5°C (86.9°F) in May, hardly different from the 30.8°C (87.4°F) recorded in April. In Enmore, May's nights observe an average temperature dip to a warm 23.1°C (73.6°F).

Heat index

The heat index in May is calculated to be an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical 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 largely significant for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by 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. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity in Enmore is 82%.

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 health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: A maximum high UV index of 6 in May translates into the following recommendations:
Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
