Wamfie's entry into May measures an average high-temperature of a tropical 34°C (93.2°F), closely parallel to the preceding month. Throughout May, Wamfie registers a consistent average low-temperature of 22.4°C (72.3°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during May is evaluated at a blazing hot 52°C (125.6°F). Mind: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke can develop with continued physical activity.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 79%.

Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
