May weather forecast
Basista, Philippines

The last month of the spring, May, is another tropical month in Basista, Philippines, with temperature in the range of an average low of 24.8°C (76.6°F) and an average high of 34.7°C (94.5°F).

Temperature

The beginning of May records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 34.7°C (94.5°F), marking a negligible difference from April's 34.9°C (94.8°F). During the nights in May, an average low-temperature of 24.8°C (76.6°F) is observed.

Heat index

The heat index in May is computed to be a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F). Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Note: A daily high UV index of 7 in May leads to these guidelines:
Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
