May weather forecast
Msabaha, Kenya

May, the last month of the autumn in Msabaha, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 29.3°C (84.7°F) and min 25.3°C (77.5°F).

Temperature

As Msabaha welcomes May, the average high-temperature stabilizes at a moderately hot 29.3°C (84.7°F), showing little deviation from April's 30.8°C (87.4°F). May nighttime temperatures hover close to the daytime peak with an average of 25.3°C (77.5°F).

Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 76%.

UV index

January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. The months with the lowest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
