Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Mbonge, is also a hot month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 32.2°C (90°F) and an average low of 21.6°C (70.9°F).

Temperature

The onset of May notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.2°C (90°F), subtly shifted from April's 33.3°C (91.9°F). Throughout May, the temperature tends to fall to a consistent average low of 21.6°C (70.9°F).

Heat index

In May, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 44°C (111.2°F). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Note: In May, an average UV index of 7 transforms into the following instructions:
Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage.
