Weather in May
Temperature
May reports an average high-temperature of a still torrid 37.1°C (98.8°F), slightly varied from April's 36.5°C (97.7°F). Bayakh encounters a substantial decline from its daily high to a low-temperature of 21.3°C (70.3°F) during May nights.Heat index
The average heat index in May is computed to be a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. 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.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. 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. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in May is 47%.Rainfall
January, February, May and December are months without rainfall.Daylight
In Bayakh, the average length of the day in May is 12h and 49min.On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 06:45 and sunset at 19:25. On the last day of May, sunrise is at 06:37 and sunset at 19:34 GMT.
Sunshine
May has the most sunshine of the year, with an average of 10h of sunshine.UV index
In Bayakh, the average daily maximum UV index in May is 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during May leads to these instructions:
Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
