Temperature

The transition into May shows a subtle variation to a still moderately hot 28.2°C (82.8°F) from April's 28.9°C (84°F) in the average high-temperature. Antsahé's nighttime average temperature in May drops marginally from the daytime highs, settling at a still warm 27.2°C (81°F).

Heat index

May's mean heat index is computed to be a hot 32°C (89.6°F). Enduring exposure and unrelenting activity might cause a state of weariness, potentially leading to heat cramps.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 74%.

Note: An average maximum UV index of 7 in May leads to these recommendations:
Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
