Weather in May

May brings a tryst with summer in Ras Karkar. A significant surge in temperature is noticeable, paving the way for a transition from the freshness of spring to the high-spirited summer. A meager 3mm (0.12") rainfall, scantiest since the beginning of the year, gives a clear indication of the shift to drier times. Weather-wise, this month is advantageous for sun seekers, who can bask in the abundant sunlight every day. Outdoor activities like camping under the clear skies come into vogue in May.

Temperature

The beginning of May marks a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from April's moderately hot 24.8°C (76.6°F) to a still warm 29.1°C (84.4°F). In Ras Karkar, the May nights cool down to an average low of 18.4°C (65.1°F).

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is evaluated at 29°C (84.2°F). Persisting in activity during exposure could lead to weariness and subsequently to heat cramps.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake.
