Weather in May
Temperature
May's advent notes a subtle adjustment in average high-temperature to a still moderately hot 27.6°C (81.7°F) from April. Throughout the month of May, Awir observes an average nighttime temperature of 17.3°C (63.1°F).Heat index
The heat index value during May is calculated to be a tropical 32°C (89.6°F). Persistent activity under exposure might lead to a feeling of weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. 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. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
