Weather in May
Temperature
In May, Krisa notes an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.3°C (84.7°F), hardly different from the preceding month. The nights of May cool down to an average low of 25.3°C (77.5°F), subtly lower than daytime highs.Heat index
The heat index for May is estimated at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
