Weather in May
Temperature
Takaungu's entry into May measures an average high-temperature of a warm 28.8°C (83.8°F), closely parallel to the preceding month. The month of May is marked by an average minimum temperature of 24.9°C (76.8°F), slightly cooler than its daytime counterpart.Heat index
The heat index value for May is computed to be a hot 34°C (93.2°F). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
