Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31°C (87.8°F), closely following the temperature pattern of April. During May, Kenge observes a consistent average nighttime temperature of 22.1°C (71.8°F).Heat index
May's heat index is appraised at a scorching 41°C (105.8°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
