Weather in May

May, the last month of the autumn in Karavi, is another warm month, with an average temperature varying between 29.3°C (84.7°F) and 26.3°C (79.3°F).

Temperature

Karavi's warmest month, May, generally records average temperatures ranging from a high of 29.3°C (84.7°F) to a low of 26.3°C (79.3°F).

Heat index

For May, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Follow precautions and abide by sun safety rules. Deterrence of sunburn is imperative. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
