If planning to walk along Fifth Avenue, do so preferably before 11:00 or after 17:00 hours. Seek natural shade under trees and keep enclosed spaces ventilated. Wide-brimmed hats are highly advisable for protecting the face and neck.

Outdoor Activity Conditions

The weather is perfect for water sports and beach recreation. With 3 m/s winds, the sea presents moderate waves ideal for swimming or snorkeling. Runners should go out early, taking advantage of the 24°C morning temperatures to avoid excessive physical strain from the sun.

What to Wear

Light cotton or linen clothing in light colors is recommended to reflect intense sunlight. Footwear should be comfortable and open, like sandals, to keep feet cool during the 27°C heat index expected in the afternoon.

When leaving accommodations, don’t forget sunglasses with UV filter and a cap. Although no rain is expected, carrying a reusable water bottle is essential for hydration. Having a fan handy can be useful in places without air conditioning due to the 79% humidity.

Air Quality

Environmental monitoring reports an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 1, categorized as Good. With PM2.5 levels at 3.2 µg/m³ and PM10 at 8.2 µg/m³, the environment is healthy. This recommendation is ideal for any outdoor activity without respiratory risks for the population.
