May weather forecast
Coro, Venezuela

An untouched hallmark in Coro, Venezuela's climate portrayal is the spike in rainfall in May up to a noticeable 41mm (1.61"). Gradual progression from April has led to a tangible increase in rain showers, hinting at the arrival of the rainy season. Yet, the increase in rainfall doesn't hamper the daylight hours or the city's inherent sunniness much. Going further into the year, the transition from May to June induces minor adjustments to the weather conditions, but still keeping within familiar confines. The substantial precipitation accompanied by warm temperatures upholds the city's tropical weather outlook.

Temperature

The advent of May signifies a minor shift to an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.8°C (87.4°F), aligning closely with April. During May, an average low-temperature of 25°C (77°F) is observed.

Heat index

May's average heat index is estimated at a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 76%.

Rainfall

In Coro, during May, the rain falls for 15.3 days and regularly aggregates up to 41mm (1.61") of precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 162.4 rainfall days, and 339mm (13.35") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: A maximum high daily UV index of 7 during May translates into the following directions:
Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat. Attention! The combination of sand and water reflections enhances UV ray intensity.
