Weather in May
Temperature
The transition into May reveals an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.5°C (83.3°F), mirroring a close resemblance to April. A sharp divergence from daytime highs is noted during the month of May, with the average nighttime temperature settling at a moderate 15°C (59°F).Heat index
In May, the average heat index is computed to be 29°C (84.2°F). Exposure and extended activity could potentially cause a state of fatigue and lead to heat cramps.Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. 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. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. 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.

Sunshine
In May, the average sunshine is 10h.UV index
In May, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: The UV index of 6 in May translates into these instructions:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
