Weather in May

May, the last month of the autumn in Kabala, is another tropical month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 30.4°C (86.7°F) and 21.8°C (71.2°F).

Temperature

The beginning of May records an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.4°C (86.7°F), marking a negligible difference from April's 31.1°C (88°F). An average low-temperature of 21.8°C (71.2°F) is recorded in the month of May in Kabala.

Heat index

The heat index in May is calculated to be a scorching 40°C (104°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. 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', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May in Kabala is 84%.

Note: In May, a regular UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Use protective steps and abide by sun safety guidelines. Safeguarding against skin and eye harm is necessary. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
