Wind speeds decrease to an average of 5.5km/h (3.4mph) in May, offering some respite from the rain-filled atmospheric conditions. The fluctuation in weather conditions in Ura during this month impacts both flora and fauna.

Heat index

May's mean heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
