Weather in May
Temperature
In Gasmata, the months of May and October register the highest average temperatures, peaking at 30.3°C (86.5°F).Heat index
May's mean heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
