May, the last month of the spring in Lime, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature varying between 81.1°F (27.3°C) and 60.4°F (15.8°C).

Temperature

May's arrival sees a mild rise in the average high-temperature, transitioning from April's warm 73.4°F (23°C) to a still moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C). Lime records a mean low-temperature of 60.4°F (15.8°C) in May.

Heat index

Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
