Weather in May
Temperature
April and May mark Buala's peak of temperatures, averaging a high-temperature of 28.8°C (83.8°F).Heat index
In May, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 34°C (93.2°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.

Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat. Heads up! The reflection of sand and water notably intensifies UV rays from the Sun.
