Weather in May
Temperature
May notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.1°C (86.2°F), subtly differing from April's 30.2°C (86.4°F). In the month of May, an average of 22°C (71.6°F) marks the low-temperature.Heat index
In May, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
