Weather in May
Temperature
Guayaquil marks the onset of May with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.3°F, a subtle shift from April's 93.2°F. In May, in Guayaquil, the average low-temperature is a warm 74.3°F.Heat index
For May, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 109.4°F. Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: The average daily UV index of 7 in May transforms into the following instructions:
Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
