May weather forecast
Am Juhar, Yemen

As May arrives, the weather continues to heat up, with significant increases in temperature. May experiences an increased volume of rainfall, totalling 9mm (0.35") over roughly 3.6 days. Despite the rise in temperature, the wind speeds decrease to an average of 15.5km/h (9.6mph), providing some relief from the heat. The increase in sunlight, coupled with the hotter temperatures, result in drier conditions. This month is generally considered the start of the hot season, with temperatures continuing to climb in the coming months.

Temperature

The average high-temperature in May, at a hot 31.9°C (89.4°F), reveals a modest deviation from April's 29.8°C (85.6°F). Am Juhar, during May nights, records a temperature marginally cooler than the daytime average, at a moderately hot 29.2°C (84.6°F).

Heat index

In May, the average heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. 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. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Note: The UV index of 8 in May translates into these instructions:
Being careless can result in skin and eye damage. Always take the necessary safety measures. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
