The temperature highs reach up to 84.2°F (29°C), making the atmosphere slightly more heated than the prior months. The arrival of summer marks a notable rise in rainfall with the May showers reaching 3.31" (84mm). While the relative humidity maintains consistency, the gusty winds of May render a cooling effect to its warm weather, allowing for comfortable exploration of its landscapes. Heading into June, the weather slightly intensifies in terms of both temperature and rainfall levels.

Temperature

With May's arrival, Agat notes an average high-temperature of a still warm 84.2°F (29°C), closely following the trend of the preceding month. Agat, during May nights, witnesses an average temperature marginally cooler than its daytime highs, at a still moderately hot 82.2°F (27.9°C).

Heat index

The average heat index in May is computed to be a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. 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.

Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
