Weather in May
Temperature
With the onset of May, a modest change to a still tropical 30.5°C (86.9°F) from April's 30.7°C (87.3°F) is noted in high-temperature. Throughout the nights in May, an average low-temperature of 21.8°C (71.2°F) is noted.Heat index
During May, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
