Weather in May
Temperature
Entering May, Tshilenge's average high-temperature reads a still hot 31.3°C (88.3°F), indicating a close resemblance to the previous month's climate. An average temperature of 20.9°C (69.6°F) marks the nights in Tshilenge in May.Heat index
During May, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance.
