Temperature

The shift into May finds Los Canelos at an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.3°C (88.3°F), closely comparable to April's conditions. Throughout May, the temperature in Los Canelos tends to fall to a consistent average low of 23.5°C (74.3°F).

Heat index

The heat index in May is computed to be a scorching 43°C (109.4°F). Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are of high significance for children. 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.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 83%.

Rainfall

In May, the rain falls for 29.3 days. Throughout May, 288mm (11.34") of precipitation is accumulated. In Los Canelos, Panama, during the entire year, the rain falls for 269.3 days and collects up to 2235mm (87.99") of precipitation.

UV index

January through June and September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: In May, the UV index of 7 transforms into the following advice:
Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
