May weather forecastKwabanna, Guyana

Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is another tropical month in Kwabanna, Guyana, with an average temperature varying between 24.3°C (75.7°F) and 30.1°C (86.2°F).

Temperature

Kwabanna registers an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.1°C (86.2°F) with the arrival of May, showing minor deviation from the preceding month. Kwabanna's average low-temperature is measured at a moderately hot 24.3°C (75.7°F) during May.

Heat index

The heat index for May is computed to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 80%.

UV index

March through October, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: In May, a daily UV index of 7 turns into the following recommendations:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
