Weather in May
Temperature
Avatoru observes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28°C (82.4°F) in May, barely different from 28.4°C (83.1°F) in April. In May, Avatoru experiences a marginal drop in temperature, with averages of 27.3°C (81.1°F) at night.Heat index
The heat index value during May is calculated to be a tropical 32°C (89.6°F). Unrelenting activity during exposure could cause fatigue and potentially lead to heat cramps.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.

A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: A maximum high UV index of 7 in May translates into the following recommendations:
Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
