Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May denotes a barely perceptible change in the average high-temperatures to a torrid 38.3°C (100.9°F) from April's 41.1°C (106°F). May brings Bussa a consistent average low-temperature of 27.9°C (82.2°F).Heat index
In May, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. 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 highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

It is essential to prioritize protection. Unprotected skin and eyes can suffer rapid harm. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage.
