Weather in May

Temperature

May is the warmest month of the year, registering average temperatures as high as 32°C (89.6°F) and as low as 18.4°C (65.1°F).

Heat index

May's average heat index is computed to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 60%.

Rainfall

In El Chanal, during May, the rain falls for 10.8 days and regularly aggregates up to 45mm (1.77") of precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 182.3 rainfall days, and 1070mm (42.13") of precipitation is accumulated.

Sunshine

March through May and December, with an average of 9.9h of sunshine, are months with the most sunshine.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are February through July, September through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: The average daily UV index of 6 in May transforms into the following instructions:
Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
