Weather in May
Temperature
Kilembe commences May with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.3°C (88.3°F), maintaining a close resemblance to the previous month. During May, Kilembe consistently records a temperature low averaging a pleasant 21.3°C (70.3°F).Heat index
During May, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Sunshine

May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during May translates into the following recommendations:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
