Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.9°C (89.4°F), subtly diverging from April's 32.2°C (90°F). During May, an average low-temperature of 20.9°C (69.6°F) is observed.Heat index
May's heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Precaution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are possible. Heatstroke is a serious risk with continued exertion.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Sunshine
In Yatolema, the average sunshine in May is 8.2h.UV index
January, March through May, July and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: A maximum daily UV index of 7 during May morphs into the following directions:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
