May weather forecast
Seghe, Solomon Islands

May promises steady weather conditions, with temperatures much on par with the month prior. The overall climate is almost synchronized with that of April, displaying minimal differences. Subtle changes can be seen in the fairly consistent wind speed and cloud coverage. What adds charm to May's meteorological rhythm is that it invites a subtle change in season whilst retaining its signature tropical warmth.

Temperature

May's arrival registers an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.4°C (84.9°F), closely aligning with the temperature of the previous month. Seghe records a consistent average nighttime temperature of 26.8°C (80.2°F) in May, slightly lower than the daytime high.

Heat index

The heat index in May is evaluated at a very hot 35°C (95°F). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 78%.

Rainfall

May is the month with the least rainfall. Rain falls for 28.3 days and accumulates 184mm (7.24") of precipitation.

Sea temperature

In Seghe, Solomon Islands, the average seawater temperature in May is 29°C (84.2°F).

UV index

May, June and September, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: A maximum high daily UV index of 6 during May translates into the following directions:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes. Take heed! Reflections of sand and water make the Sun's UV rays stronger.
