Temperature

The advent of May brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.3°C (88.3°F), exhibiting minor difference from the previous month. The nighttime temperature, during May, averages of 23.5°C (74.3°F).

Heat index

May's average heat index is computed to be a scorching 43°C (109.4°F). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed.

Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
