Weather in May
Temperature
Machuruca records an average high-temperature of a tropical 30.6°C (87.1°F) in May, maintaining a close correlation with April's 29.9°C (85.8°F). Machuruca encounters an average temperature dip to a warm 26.8°C (80.2°F) throughout May, subtly lower than its daytime maximum.Heat index
The heat index value for May is calculated to be a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: In May, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
