May weather forecast
Chinda, Honduras

May, the last month of the spring in Chinda, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 32.2°C (90°F) and 21.8°C (71.2°F).

Temperature

The shift from April to May is characterized by an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.2°C (90°F), not significantly different from the 32.6°C (90.7°F) of April. In Chinda, the average temperature during the nights of May drops to a pleasant 21.8°C (71.2°F).

Heat index

In May, the average heat index is evaluated at a scorching 44°C (111.2°F). Stay on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Ongoing effort can cause heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity in Chinda is 77%.

Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
