Weather in May
Temperature
Welcoming May, Wiri notes an average high-temperature of a still warm 27.2°C (81°F), nearly consistent with April's 28.3°C (82.9°F). In the month of May, an average of 17.5°C (63.5°F) marks the low-temperature.Heat index
The heat index value for May is estimated at a tropical 30°C (86°F). If exposure and activity persist, fatigue could ensue, possibly leading to heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. 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 are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.

Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes.

Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
