Weather in May
Temperature
May's advent notes a subtle adjustment in average high-temperature to a still warm 29.5°C (85.1°F) from April. Camp Maipouri usually reports an average low-temperature of 23.3°C (73.9°F) during the month of May.Heat index
May's mean heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

The months with the lowest UV index are January through June and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: The maximum daily UV index of 6 in May interprets into the following recommendations:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Stay out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
