Weather in May

Kikumbya records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 27.2°C (81°F) in May, closely mirroring the climate of the previous month. Kikumbya experiences a steady low-temperature of 17.5°C (63.5°F) throughout May.Heat index
May's average heat index is computed to be a hot 30°C (86°F). Persisting in activity during exposure could lead to weariness and subsequently to heat cramps.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
