Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Iton, is another tropical month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 24.8°C (76.6°F) and an average high of 34.7°C (94.5°F).

Temperature

Iton notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 34.7°C (94.5°F) in May, hardly diverging from April. The temperature lowers to an average of 24.8°C (76.6°F) during May nights.

Heat index

The heat index for May is appraised at a life-threatening hot 49°C (120.2°F). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

The average relative humidity in May is 70%.

Note: A maximum high UV index of 7 in May translates into the following recommendations:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
