Weather in May
Temperature
May reports an average high-temperature of a warm 29.9°C (85.8°F), slightly varied from April's 31.4°C (88.5°F). In May, Mahagi experiences an average nighttime temperature of 19.9°C (67.8°F).Heat index
The heat index value during May is calculated to be a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Sunshine

April through November, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: The maximum UV index of 6 during May leads to these instructions:
Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
