Weather in May
Temperature
May's advent in Kieta denotes a minor fluctuation in the average high-temperature to a still moderately hot 27.2°C (81°F) from April's 26.9°C (80.4°F). Kieta's temperature drops to an average low of 20.9°C (69.6°F) during the nights of May.Heat index
For May, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 31°C (87.8°F). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
