Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is a hot month in Shishta, Egypt, with an average temperature fluctuating between 16°C (60.8°F) and 32.8°C (91°F).

Temperature

May's onset is marked by a subtle temperature increase, moving from a warm 28.8°C (83.8°F) in April to a hot 32.8°C (91°F). Despite a significant disparity with daytime temperatures, an average low-temperature of 16°C (60.8°F) is recorded in Shishta during May.

Heat index

In May, the average heat index is calculated to be a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
