Lugajole experiences an average high-temperature of a still fiery hot 36.3°C (97.3°F) with the onset of May, subtly varied from April's 38.6°C (101.5°F). Lugajole records a marked daily temperature contrast, with an average low-temperature of 23.7°C (74.7°F) during the nights of May.

Heat index

The average heat index in May is calculated to be a blazing hot 51°C (123.8°F). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

The average relative humidity in May is 64%.

Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat.
