Temperature

The onset of May brings with it an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 29.8°C (85.6°F), showing a negligible variation from the month before. Dimako reports an average nighttime low-temperature of 19.8°C (67.6°F) in May.

Heat index

May's mean heat index is computed to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
