May weather forecast
Thumrait, Oman

May asserts the definitive arrival of summer in Thumrait, Oman, with scorching highs of 39.2°C (102.6°F) and barely bearable lows of 23.2°C (73.8°F). Basking in the sunlight, the region experiences the longest daylight period. The intense heat during the day rapidly drops the relative humidity, providing little relief from the overwhelming heat. Complaints about a dry spell are frequent, as May is usually devoid of any significant rainfall.

Temperature

Thumrait's weather shows a minor temperature rise with the arrival of May, moving from a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F) in April to a still fiery hot 39.2°C (102.6°F). Despite the high peak temperatures, Thumrait witnesses an average nighttime cooling to a warm 23.2°C (73.8°F) in May.

Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
