Temperature

Mado Gashi notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 33.8°C (92.8°F) in May, hardly diverging from April. During the nights in May, an average low-temperature of 24.3°C (75.7°F) is observed.

Heat index

The heat index in May is computed to be a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 60%.
