Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is also a hot month in Carice, Haiti, with an average temperature fluctuating between 20.2°C (68.4°F) and 31°C (87.8°F).

Temperature

May's beginning signals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31°C (87.8°F), barely different from April's 30.7°C (87.3°F). In Carice, an average nighttime temperature of 20.2°C (68.4°F) is expected during May.

Heat index

May's heat index is calculated to be a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 74%.

Rainfall

May is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 22.8 days and accumulates 107mm (4.21") of precipitation.

Sunshine

The average sunshine in May is 10.9h.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are January through May, September through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In May, the UV index of 6 transforms into the following advice:
Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
