Temperature

With the arrival of May, Cuncolim's average high-temperature registers at a still hot 33.3°C (91.9°F), indicating a subtle variation from the previous month. Nighttime temperature dips to a mean of 25.9°C (78.6°F) during May.

Heat index

May's mean heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Persist in precautions and follow sun safety policies. Keeping sunburn at bay is imperative. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. For a sun-safe wardrobe, go for clothes that are tightly woven and generously sized.
