The advent of May observes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.4°C (88.5°F), nearly identical to April's 31.2°C (88.2°F). Ketelan's temperature lowers to a mean of 23.2°C (73.8°F) during the nights in May.

Heat index

The average heat index in May is calculated to be an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
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', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
