Weather in May

Treating the inhabitants to a stable weather pattern, May brings about a striking resemblance to its precursor in Alele. The primary difference lies in a slight increase in visibility up to 10km (6.2mi), ensuring undisturbed panoramas. There is a further reduction in rainfall, clocking it at an average of 115mm (4.53") for the month. As the showers become sporadic, daylight hours become more predictable, giving outdoor enthusiasts enough warning to avoid getting caught in the rain. Overall, the weather in May is a testimony to the consistent tropical climate prevalent in the Wallis and Futuna Islands.

Temperature

May's climate shows a minor adjustment in average high-temperatures to a still moderately hot 28.8°C (83.8°F) from April's 29°C (84.2°F). Alele reports an average low-temperature of 27.8°C (82°F) during the subtly cooler May nights.

Heat index

May's heat index is computed to be a tropical 34°C (93.2°F). Adopt extra preventive measures, the occurrence of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is likely. Heatstroke may follow extended activity.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. 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. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
