Unidad, Philippines

The last month of the spring, May, is a hot month in Unidad, Philippines, with an average temperature fluctuating between 30.8°C (87.4°F) and 25.3°C (77.5°F).

Temperature

The advent of May denotes an average high-temperature of a tropical 30.8°C (87.4°F), subtly different from April's 29.4°C (84.9°F). In the month of May, Unidad's average low-temperature falls to a warm 25.3°C (77.5°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in May is evaluated at an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage. Stay alert! Reflective properties of sand and water amplify the Sun's UV radiation.
