May weather forecast
Cascabel, Panama

May, the last month of the spring in Cascabel, is also a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 30.1°C (86.2°F) and min 23.7°C (74.7°F).

Temperature

In May, Cascabel notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.1°C (86.2°F), hardly different from the preceding month. Throughout the month of May, Cascabel reports a steady low-temperature average of 23.7°C (74.7°F).

Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 77%.

Rainfall

In Cascabel, in May, during 28.7 rainfall days, 199mm (7.83") of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 265.2 rainfall days, and 1776mm (69.92") of precipitation is accumulated.

Sunshine

In May, the average sunshine is 8.1h.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are May, August, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: During May, 6 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Stay out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
