Weather in May
Temperature
As Landupita steps into May, the average high-temperature holds at a still warm 27.3°C (81.1°F), hinting at a minor fluctuation from the prior month. Landupita reports a consistent average low-temperature of 19.1°C (66.4°F) throughout May nights.Heat index
During May, the heat index is calculated to be a hot 31°C (87.8°F). Persistent activity under exposure might lead to a feeling of weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
