Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Marvina, is a tropical month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 86.5°F (30.3°C) and an average low of 70.2°F (21.2°C).

Temperature

The arrival of May sees a recorded average high-temperature of a hot 86.5°F (30.3°C), showing little divergence from the previous month's conditions. The mean low-temperature during May nights is a pleasant 70.2°F (21.2°C).

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. 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 largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Humidity

The months with the lowest humidity are March and May, with an average relative humidity of 70%.

Rainfall

In Marvina, in May, it is raining for 15.2 days, with typically 1.61" (41mm) of accumulated precipitation. In Marvina, during the entire year, the rain falls for 160.9 days and collects up to 16.77" (426mm) of precipitation.

Sunshine

With an average of 10.9h of sunshine, May has the most sunshine of the year.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit.
