Weather in May
Temperature
At the start of May, Kipuka's average high-temperature reaches a still hot 31.8°C (89.2°F), subtly different from the preceding month. Throughout May, an average nighttime temperature of 21.9°C (71.4°F) is experienced.Heat index
May's average heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

In May, the average relative humidity is 71%.Rainfall
In May, the rain falls for 19.8 days. Throughout May, 67mm (2.64") of precipitation is accumulated. In Kipuka, during the entire year, the rain falls for 240.7 days and collects up to 1070mm (42.13") of precipitation.Snowfall

Sunshine
The average sunshine in May is 9.1h.UV index
January, March through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in May interprets into the following recommendations:
Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Shield yourself from the harmful effects of UV radiation with sun-protective attire, a hat, and quality sunglasses.
