Temperature

During May, Ankirihitra observes a subtle ascent to a still hot 30.4°C (86.7°F) from April's 31.3°C (88.3°F) in the average high-temperature. The average low-temperature, in May, is a pleasant 20.2°C (68.4°F).

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 35°C (95°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 64%.

Note: The average daily UV index of 6 in May transforms into the following instructions:
Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
