Weather in May

The month of May showcases a distinct climate from the earlier months. One can feel a subtle drop in temperature in comparison with April, paving way for a marginally cooler month. Even though daylight is almost the same as previous months, the month brings a remarkable reduction in the sunshine hours. Despite slight variations in other parameters, humidity remains ever-lasting. With a record high rainfall of 238mm (9.37"), May goes down as the wettest month of the year.

Entering May, the average high-temperature is recorded at a still moderately hot 27.8°C (82°F), exhibiting a minimal shift from April's 28.6°C (83.5°F). A slight dip in temperature to a still moderately hot 23.7°C (74.7°F) marks the average nights during May.

In May, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 33°C (91.4°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. 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 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
