May weather forecast
El Socorro, Nicaragua

The last month of the spring, May, is another hot month in El Socorro, Nicaragua, with an average temperature ranging between min 24.6°C (76.3°F) and max 32.3°C (90.1°F).

Temperature

The advent of May sees the average high-temperature at a still hot 32.3°C (90.1°F), subtly shifted from April's 34.1°C (93.4°F). During May, El Socorro experiences a consistent low-temperature average of 24.6°C (76.3°F).

Heat index

May's average heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 70%.

Rainfall

In El Socorro, in May, it is raining for 21 days, with typically 269mm (10.59") of accumulated precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 184 rainfall days, and 1415mm (55.71") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

January through September, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: An average maximum UV index of 7 in May leads to these recommendations:
Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
