The onset of May marks an average high-temperature of a still very hot 38.8°C (101.8°F), hardly differing from April's 39.5°C (103.1°F). Throughout the month of May, Maju witnesses an average low-temperature of 28.2°C (82.8°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for May is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 59°C (138.2°F). Warning: These weather conditions are held as extremely risky, with imminent heatstroke.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

The average relative humidity in May is 61%.
