Weather in May
Temperature
Transitioning into May, Harangala records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 27.3°C (81.1°F), almost identical to April's 27.6°C (81.7°F). Throughout the month of May, Harangala expects an average low of 19.1°C (66.4°F).Heat index
The heat index in May is computed to be a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). Remaining active during long-lasting exposure could cause fatigue, leading to heat cramps.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
