Weather in May

As the fifth month rolls around, Maricao, Puerto Rico, experiences substantial meteorological variations. May marks a dramatic escalation in rainfall levels, rising to 4.57" (116mm) and exceeding the previous month’s levels. Consequently, the month records a sharp upward climb in the number of rainy days. Yet, the increase in rainfall does not dampen the spirit of the sunshine duration, which enhances alongside the overall daylight hours. Heading into June, residents can anticipate a slight dip in rainfall while the temperature range remains comparatively stable.

Temperature

With the start of May, Maricao measures an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 84°F (28.9°C), not significantly differing from April's 82.6°F (28.1°C). Night temperatures during May stabilize at an average of 75.6°F (24.2°C), closely mirroring the daytime temperatures.

Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is appraised at a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
