Temperature

The transition from April to May brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33.8°C (92.8°F), barely different from April's 34.1°C (93.4°F). Pulilan, in the month of May, anticipates a consistent average low-temperature of 24.9°C (76.8°F).

Heat index

May's heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. 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. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

UV index

February through June, August through November, 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 health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The UV index of 7 during May translates into the following guidance:
Sustain precautions and conform to sun safety norms. Preventing sunburn is necessary. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
