Weather in May
Temperature
Kimpoko's average high-temperature in May sits at a still hot 31°C (87.8°F), showing little difference from the previous month. Throughout May, Kimpoko experiences a low-temperature average of 22.1°C (71.8°F).Heat index
May's heat index is evaluated at a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: In May, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears.
