The transition from April to May brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.9°C (91.2°F), barely different from April's 31°C (87.8°F). During the month of May, an average low-temperature of 23.3°C (73.9°F) is recorded in Lafu.

Heat index

The average heat index in May is evaluated at a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F). Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary.

Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
