The last month of the spring, May, is a tropical month in Sibaguan, Philippines, with an average temperature varying between 30.8°C (87.4°F) and 26.7°C (80.1°F).

Temperature

May, marked by an average high-temperature of 30.8°C (87.4°F) and a low-temperature of 26.7°C (80.1°F), is the warmest month.

Heat index

The heat index value during May is evaluated at a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. 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. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Humidity

With an average relative humidity of 75%, May is the least humid month.

A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In May, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. 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. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes. Heads up! UV intensity is amplified by reflections from water and sand.
