Weather in May
Temperature
April's transformation into May witnesses an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31°C (87.8°F), noting a minor change from the preceding month. May witnesses an average nighttime temperature of 22.1°C (71.8°F).Heat index
The heat index for May is evaluated at an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
