Weather in May
Temperature
As Shanga welcomes May, the average high-temperature records at a very hot 38.3°C (100.9°F), marking an insignificant deviation from the prior month. Shanga reports an average low-temperature of 27.9°C (82.2°F) during the nights of May.Heat index
May's mean heat index is computed to be a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F). Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
