Weather in May
Temperature
At the onset of May, Kabalo records an average high-temperature of a hot 30.8°C (87.4°F), showing little deviation from the preceding month. In the month of May, Kabalo records a consistent average low-temperature of 20.1°C (68.2°F).Heat index
The heat index in May is computed to be a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
Humidity
In May, the average relative humidity is 72%.Rainfall
In Kabalo, during May, the rain falls for 16 days and regularly aggregates up to 43mm (1.69") of precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 220.2 rainfall days, and 913mm (35.94") of precipitation is accumulated.Daylight

Sunshine
The average sunshine in May is 9.4h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: The UV index of 7 during May translates into the following guidance:
Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory. During the period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., UV radiation is highest. Try to avoid direct sunlight during these hours. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
