Weather in May
Temperature
May's weather records an average high-temperature of a still warm 28.5°C (83.3°F), showing little deviation from April. Despite the significant gap from daytime peaks, Kachikau experiences an average low-temperature of 14°C (57.2°F) in May.Heat index
The heat index in May is calculated to be 29°C (84.2°F). Exposure and extended activity could potentially cause a state of fatigue and lead to heat cramps.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
