Weather in May

May marks a minor ascent in the average high-temperature, adjusting from April's warm 24.9°C (76.8°F) to a still moderately hot 29.7°C (85.5°F). Afikim reports a sharp reduction in temperature during May, averaging at an enjoyable 16.4°C (61.5°F) at night.Heat index
In May, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 30°C (86°F). Prolonged activity during exposure might result in a state of fatigue and cause heat cramps.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
