Weather in May
Temperature
May records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.3°C (82.9°F), indicating a minor variation from the preceding month. During the May nights, Samamea's temperature maintains an average close to the daytime highs, settling at a still warm 27°C (80.6°F).Heat index
The heat index value for May is computed to be a tropical 32°C (89.6°F). With sustained exposure and activity, exhaustion becomes probable, resulting in heat cramps.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.

Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
