May weather forecast
Saylac, Somalia

May is the initiation of a hotter period in Saylac, characterized by an elevated temperature ceiling and a decrease in relative humidity. The nasal end of spring notes a slight drop in rainfall, receiving only 6mm (0.24") across the entire month. Despite reporting the highest temperature so far in this calendar year, the number of sunlight hours has not seen a big rise from April. The weather in May lays the groundwork for the peak summer months, the coastal climate moderating the increasing heat. Relieving the coastal city from the rising temperature, the sea breeze may pick up following an increase in local thermal contrasts.

Temperature

As May arrives in Saylac, a slight rise in the average high-temperature is observed, moving from a tropical 30.6°C (87.1°F) in April to a still hot 34°C (93.2°F). Throughout May, the average low-temperature in Saylac dips to a warm 28.3°C (82.9°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during May is calculated to be an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. 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. 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 particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Note: The daily maximum UV index of 8 in May interprets into the following advice:
Being unprotected puts skin and eyes at risk of rapid damage. Always be safe. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun. Be alert! The reflection of water and sand augments UV radiation intensity.
