Temperature

The advent of May brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31°C (87.8°F), exhibiting minor difference from the previous month. A mean low-temperature of 27.2°C (81°F) is a distinguishing feature of May, indicating a slight dip from daytime highs.

Heat index

During May, the heat index is computed to be a scorching 40°C (104°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Enhance your sun protection with tightly woven, yet airy clothing.
