Temperature

April's transformation into May witnesses an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.4°C (88.5°F), noting a minor change from the preceding month. The low temperature average in Itele during May reflects a slight decrease to a moderately hot 26.8°C (80.2°F) from the day's peak.

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through June, September through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: In May, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage.
