Weather in May
Temperature
Mweka's average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.8°C (89.2°F) in May mirrors that of the prior month. During May, the nighttime temperature averages to an agreeable 21.5°C (70.7°F).Heat index
The heat index in May is calculated to be a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in May is 76%.Rainfall
In May, the rain falls for 17.8 days. Throughout May, 63mm (2.48") of precipitation is accumulated. In Mweka, during the entire year, the rain falls for 238.8 days and collects up to 1103mm (43.43") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
The average sunshine in May is 9.1h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are January, March through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Opt for tightly woven and loose clothing to enhance protection from the Sun.
