May weather forecast
Krisa, Papua New Guinea

The last month of the autumn, May, is also a moderately hot month in Krisa, Papua New Guinea, with an average temperature varying between 25.3°C (77.5°F) and 29.3°C (84.7°F).

Temperature

Krisa starts May with an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.3°C (84.7°F), a minor shift from April's 29°C (84.2°F). A minor drop in temperature is observed from daytime highs during the nights of May, averaging a still warm 25.3°C (77.5°F).

Heat index

May's mean heat index is computed to be a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 81%.

Rainfall

In May, the rain falls for 22.8 days. Throughout May, 123mm (4.84") of precipitation is accumulated. In Krisa, during the entire year, the rain falls for 282.5 days and collects up to 1655mm (65.16") of precipitation.

Sunshine

May and October, with an average of 8.7h of sunshine, are months with the most sunshine.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are February through November, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: The UV index of 7 during May leads to these advisories:
Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
