Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival registers an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.3°C (84.7°F), matching the conditions of the preceding month. An average low-temperature of 21.8°C (71.2°F) is observed in Tufi during the May nights.Heat index
For May, the heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: In May, an average UV index of 6 transforms into the following instructions:
Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly. Take caution! The UV rays from the Sun gain strength from sand and water reflections.
