May weather forecast
Dadna, United Arab Emirates

May can be categorized as one apart from any other with temperatures soaring and touching the summer high. The soaring temperature, which ascends to a fiery 34.4°C (93.9°F), reflects the drastic shift in the weather pattern. Mild winds blowing from the east provide a slight respite from the heat during afternoons. Sufficient daylight hours complement the hot conditions, ensuring a vibrant street-life. As May ends, the residents gear up to endure the peak summer month.

With the transition into May, Dadna experiences a subtle uplift in average high-temperatures, adjusting from 30.3°C (86.5°F) in April to a still tropical 34.4°C (93.9°F). Recording a slight drop from the daily maximum, Dadna notes an average low temperature of 29.4°C (84.9°F) in the month of May.

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Prioritize your safety. Without precautions, skin and eyes might get hurt quickly. During the period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., UV radiation is highest. Try to avoid direct sunlight during these hours. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
