Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May is marked by a minor reduction in average high-temperature, sliding from a very hot 38.3°C (100.9°F) in April to a still torrid 35.1°C (95.2°F). Throughout May, San Pedro del Norte registers a consistent average low-temperature of 25.3°C (77.5°F).Heat index
The heat index for May is computed to be a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

In San Pedro del Norte, the average daily maximum UV index in May is 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: A maximum high daily UV index of 7 during May translates into the following directions:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Opt for tightly woven and loose clothing to enhance protection from the Sun.
