Weather in May

May holds the banner of the wettest month in Aru, with a maximum rainfall of 177mm (6.97"). Temperature ranges remain relatively constant, with the warmth persisting. Relative humidity reaches a high level due to ongoing rains, making it quite comfortless without the right attire. The trend of limited sunny days continues, with more clouds than sunshine most of the days. The transition into June primarily involves a plateauing of these conditions, rather than a drastic change.

Temperature

Aru experiences an average high-temperature of a still warm 28.3°C (82.9°F) in May, marking an insignificant shift from 29.7°C (85.5°F) in April. Aru, during the nights of May, experiences an average temperature drop to a comfortable 18.3°C (64.9°F).

Heat index

May's average heat index is evaluated at a hot 33°C (91.4°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.

The average relative humidity in May is 78%.
