May weather forecastShibah, Egypt

Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is a tropical month in Shibah, Egypt, with an average temperature varying between 33.8°C (92.8°F) and 17.1°C (62.8°F).

Temperature

May witnesses a minor rise in the average high-temperature, transitioning from a moderately hot 29.3°C (84.7°F) in April to a tropical 33.8°C (92.8°F). A considerable shift from the daytime highs is observed during May nights, with an average low of 17.1°C (62.8°F).

Heat index

In May, the heat index is appraised at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Humidity

May is the least humid month, with an average relative humidity of 45%.

Rainfall

May is the last month it rains. During 0.6 rainfall days, in May, Shibah aggregates 1mm (0.04") of precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 20.3 rainfall days, and 21mm (0.83") of precipitation is accumulated.

Note: A daily maximum UV index of 7 in May translates into the following instructions:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
