Weather in May
Temperature
Upon the beginning of May, Ambagahahena's high-temperatures register at a still tropical 30.3°C (86.5°F), closely mirroring the preceding month. Ambagahahena upholds a consistent average temperature of 26.3°C (79.3°F) throughout the nights of May.Heat index
The heat index value for May is estimated at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
