Weather in May

Kish in May is the epitome of a sun-soaked summer city, with extended daylight hours and an almost unforgiving heat. Having moved on from the relatively milder April temperatures, the city now finds itself in the throes of summer's heatwave. The city witnesses the highest jump in the average high temperature, moving from 27.4°C (81.3°F) in April to a scorching 31.4°C (88.5°F) in May. As June hovers on the horizon, it carries with it the promise of even higher temperatures and staggering heat. Despite the intensity of the heat, Kish retains its charm with extended days of intense sunshine and spectacular sunset views over the azure waters.

Temperature

The arrival of May introduces a minor uplift in high-temperatures, adjusting from a moderately hot 27.4°C (81.3°F) in April to a hot 31.4°C (88.5°F). In May, Kish experiences a marginal drop in temperature, with averages of 29.7°C (85.5°F) at night.

Heat index

During May, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
