May weather forecast
Antsamaka, Madagascar

The last month of the autumn, May, is another tropical month in Antsamaka, Madagascar, with temperature in the range of an average low of 22.3°C (72.1°F) and an average high of 30°C (86°F).

Temperature

May's average high-temperature stands at a still hot 30°C (86°F), showing little deviation from April's 30.4°C (86.7°F). Antsamaka records an average temperature drop to a pleasant 22.3°C (72.1°F) in May.

Heat index

During May, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 73%.

Note: A maximum high UV index of 6 in May translates into the following recommendations:
Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
