May weather forecast
Aola, Solomon Islands

In May, the rainfall drops considerably to 165mm (6.5") bringing about much drier conditions in Aola. An increase in sunshine hours is also registered in correlation with the decline in precipitation. The winds, maintaining a reasonable speed, contribute to the mitigation of heat, imparting a vital role in setting the thermal comfort levels. Temperature variance throughout the day remains constant without any noticeable swing. Thus, May presents a transition to more sunlight days, bringing cooler winds and lesser showers.

Temperature

Aola marks the start of May with an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.8°C (83.8°F), hinting at a slight fluctuation from April's 29°C (84.2°F). In Aola, the May nights are characterized by an average low-temperature of 24.1°C (75.4°F), a minor dip from daytime readings.

Heat index

The heat index in May is evaluated at a torrid 35°C (95°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
