May weather forecast
Korokula, Fiji

Moving into May, the weather continues to be influenced by a consistent decline in temperature trajected from April. Gradually reducing precipitation sees the intensity of the Pacific rains at ease. Nevertheless, Korokula’s tropical heat is still refreshing and mildly relentless due to a moderate drop in the average percentage of cloud cover. An interesting characteristic is the noticeable dip in rainfall volume with levels receding to only 61mm (2.4"), making May the start of Korokula's relatively drier mid-year period.

Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 31°C (87.8°F). Persistently participating in activities during exposure may lead to fatigue and induce heat cramps.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.

Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear.
