Weather in May
Temperature
May's advent denotes a minor fluctuation in the average high-temperature to a still hot 32.2°C (90°F) from April's 32.8°C (91°F). Machaquila's average low-temperature in May is measured at an agreeable 21.3°C (70.3°F).Heat index
May's average heat index is estimated at a blistering 44°C (111.2°F). Observe: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is on the horizon with prolonged exertion.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
