Weather in May
Temperature
April's transformation into May witnesses an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.9°C (84°F), noting a minor change from the preceding month. A consistent nighttime average temperature of 24.1°C (75.4°F) is maintained during May.Heat index
In May, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 34°C (93.2°F). Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.

Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
