Temperature

May is the month when Mdogone sees the highest average temperatures, with a high of 41.4°C (106.5°F) and a low of 21.2°C (70.2°F).

Heat index

May's mean heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 53°C (127.4°F). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are April through June, September and October, with an average maximum UV index of 8. A UV Index value of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 8 during May translates into the following directions:
Precautions are essential; the risk of damage to unprotected skin and eyes is too high. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
