Moving into
May,
Yanbu weather turns indisputably hotter. The city records only 1mm (0.04") of rainfall making it evident that Yanbu is now right in the middle of its dry season. This month also records a gradual increase in the relative humidity levels. With longer daylight hours available, outdoor activities continue to be favorable. All signs point convincingly to the advent of summer in Yanbu.
Temperature
Yanbu's May weather indicates a minor ascent in high-temperatures, adjusting from a tropical 34.7°C (94.5°F) in
April to a sweltering 38.2°C (100.8°F). Yanbu endures a clear shift from daytime heat to a mean low-temperature of 23.8°C (74.8°F) during May nights.
Heat index
May's heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F).
Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
