May weather forecast
Abacheri, Eritrea

As summer fully sets in, May brings in extraordinarily hot conditions in Abacheri. Boasting of the year’s first peak maximum temperature reaching an average high of 35.4°C (95.7°F), it is easily the hottest month thus far. The days stretch even more, and the strong sunshine of 12.8 hours combined with a UV index of 8 makes very clear the relentless nature of the summer sun. While showers become slightly more frequent than in April, the increase in rainfall to 4mm (0.16") is barely felt on the hot spring soil. Luckily, the mild winds that have arrived provide some relief from the scorching heat.

Abacheri starts May with an average high-temperature of a very hot 35.4°C (95.7°F), a minor shift from April's 33.8°C (92.8°F). May witnesses an average nighttime temperature of 30°C (86°F) in Abacheri.

Heat index

The heat index for May is estimated at a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
