Weather in May
Temperature
At-Tawahi ushers in May with an average high-temperature of a hot 31.9°C (89.4°F), showing a close resemblance to the previous month. The nights of May are characterized by an average low-temperature of 29.2°C (84.6°F), subtly descending from daytime highs.Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is estimated at a scorching 40°C (104°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

The months with the highest UV index are May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 8. A UV Index reading of 8 to 10 represents a very high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: The maximum UV index of 8 during May translates into these guidelines:
Never be careless. Unprotected skin and eyes can be harmed swiftly. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears. Take warning! Reflective sand and water surfaces intensify the Sun's UV rays.
