Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Kuli, is also a sweltering month, with an average temperature varying between 37.3°C (99.1°F) and 27.1°C (80.8°F).

Temperature

May's onset sees an average high-temperature of a still very hot 37.3°C (99.1°F), exhibiting a slight fluctuation from the previous month. An average low-temperature of 27.1°C (80.8°F) is noted during the nights in May in Kuli.

Heat index

The heat index for May is evaluated at a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

The average relative humidity in May is 53%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are February through May and November, with an average maximum UV index of 8. A UV Index estimate of 8 to 10 represents a very high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The daily maximum UV index of 8 in May interprets into the following advice:
Emphasize protection. Neglecting it can lead to swift damage to the skin and eyes. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
