May carries on April's momentum, retaining similar weather conditions but with a minor drop in daily highs. The weather remains largely characterized by frequent rainfall and cloud cover. Despite the resemblance to April's climatic conditions, May promotes a slightly cooler atmosphere. Consistency defines the weather in May, with a constant average temperature of 34.7°C (94.5°F) and a substantial rainfall of 112mm (4.41").

Temperature

May's weather displays an average high-temperature of a tropical 34.7°C (94.5°F), slightly varied from April's 35.2°C (95.4°F). An average minimum temperature of 26.3°C (79.3°F) is recorded during the month of May.

Heat index

For May, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 49°C (120.2°F). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. 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 are quite important for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
