Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Progreso, is a tropical month, with an average temperature ranging between max 30.5°C (86.9°F) and min 25.3°C (77.5°F).

Temperature

At the onset of May, Progreso records an average high-temperature of a hot 30.5°C (86.9°F), showing little deviation from the preceding month. In the month of May, Progreso records a consistent average low-temperature of 25.3°C (77.5°F).

Heat index

During May, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
