Temperature

May's average high-temperature stands at a tropical 33.5°C (92.3°F), showing little deviation from April's 35°C (95°F). Adamé's temperature tends to fall to an average low of 24°C (75.2°F) during the nights of May.

Heat index

In May, the heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Precaution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are possible. Heatstroke is a serious risk with continued exertion.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
