Weather in May
Temperature
Taurama marks the onset of May with an average high-temperature of a still warm 28.9°C (84°F), a subtle shift from April's 29.1°C (84.4°F). The temperature in Taurama during May experiences a small drop from daytime peaks, recording an average of 24.1°C (75.4°F) at night.Heat index
May's heat index is evaluated at a tropical 34°C (93.2°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
