May weather forecast
Binge, Angola

The last month of the autumn, May, is a tropical month in Binge, Angola, with temperature in the range of an average low of 20.9°C (69.6°F) and an average high of 30.5°C (86.9°F).

Temperature

The onset of May brings with it an average high-temperature of a hot 30.5°C (86.9°F), showing a negligible variation from the month before. Nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 20.9°C (69.6°F) in May.

Heat index

May's mean heat index is computed to be a blistering 40°C (104°F). Undertake additional safety actions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Persistent activity may induce heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. 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. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Note: In May, the UV index of 6 transforms into the following advice:
Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
