May, the last month of the autumn in Kituu, is another warm month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 29.2°C (84.6°F) and an average low of 24.1°C (75.4°F).

Temperature

May registers an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 29.2°C (84.6°F), slightly varied from April's 31°C (87.8°F). Kituu's average low-temperature is measured at 24.1°C (75.4°F) during May.

Heat index

The heat index value for May is computed to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. 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', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Note: An average maximum UV index of 7 in May leads to these recommendations:
Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
