Weather in May
Temperature
The advent of May presents an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.3°C (86.5°F), maintaining a close correlation with the preceding month. During May nights, Katsepy records an average temperature of 22.5°C (72.5°F).Heat index
The heat index for May is evaluated at a torrid 35°C (95°F). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. 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. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

January through May, August through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 7 transforms into these recommendations:
Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
