On the advent of May, La Libertad's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a still tropical 31.3°C (88.3°F) from April's 32.8°C (91°F). La Libertad's nights in May cool down to an average low-temperature of 23.2°C (73.8°F).

Heat index

The heat index in May is evaluated at an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. 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.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 76%.

Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
