Weather in May
Temperature
In Punta Princesa, May is identified by the highest average temperatures, reaching a peak of 30.8°C (87.4°F) and a low of 26.4°C (79.5°F).Heat index
In May, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. 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 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for 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.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
