Weather in May
Temperature
May experiences an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.3°C (86.5°F), barely different from April's 31.8°C (89.2°F). In the month of May, Ibambi records a consistent average low-temperature of 19.3°C (66.7°F).Heat index
May's average heat index is estimated at a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Act with care - The suggestion to avoid sunburn is emphasized. Direct Sun exposure should be minimized especially during midday when radiation is most intense. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
