May weather forecast
Bandarbeyla, Somalia

May is when Bandarbeyla's weather takes a turn for the hottest. The significant jump in temperature is accommodated by a notable increase in rainfall to 44mm (1.73"), giving much-needed relief. Daylight hours also expand, allowing for more activities throughout the day. However, this also translates to longer hours under the scorching heat. It is best to plan any outdoor activities early in the morning or later in the day when the heat is more bearable.

Temperature

Transitioning from April to May, Bandarbeyla observes an average high-temperature of a fiery hot 35.8°C (96.4°F), differing subtly from the previous month. Bandarbeyla's nighttime temperature in May falls to an average of 26.9°C (80.4°F).

Heat index

May's average heat index is evaluated at a scorching 44°C (111.2°F). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. 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 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one'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 particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 53%.

UV index

Note: An average maximum UV index of 8 in May leads to these recommendations:
Take all necessary measures. Eyes and skin are at risk if left unprotected. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half. Heed this! UV intensity is much stronger when reflected off sand and water.
