May weather forecast
Achiwib, Guyana

In May, Achiwib lies under the embrace of a steady rainfall, revitalising the environment and keeping the city lush. As temperature decreases to 31.1°C (88°F), residents enjoy respite from the preceding heat, leading to comfortable weather. However, the rainfall swells to a significant amount, accompanied by a corresponding rise in the days with precipitation - a trend that continues over the next three months. Wind patterns reflect a substantial decrease adding to the tranquility of this month. These conditions prepare Achiwib for further atmospheric changes, settling into a deeper monsoon spell in June.

Temperature

The beginning of May records an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.1°C (88°F), almost echoing the conditions of the previous month. In May, the recorded average low-temperature is a moderately hot 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for May is estimated at a blistering 40°C (104°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
