Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Mozambique, is another hot month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 30.8°C (87.4°F) and an average low of 26.8°C (80.2°F).

Temperature

A minimal variation is noted in Mozambique's average high-temperature at the onset of May, reaching a still tropical 30.8°C (87.4°F) from April's 31°C (87.8°F). Mozambique registers a small shift from peak daytime temperatures, with a consistent average low-temperature of 26.8°C (80.2°F) during May.

Heat index

The average heat index in May is computed to be a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. 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. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

UV index

January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the lowest UV index in Mozambique, Colombia. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: A maximum UV index of 7 in May translates into the following recommendations:
Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
