Kilmia, Yemen

May introduces marked climatic changes in Kilmia with the commencement of the rainy season. Despite a surge in rainfall to 22mm (0.87") over approximately 3.1 days, the warm temperatures keep the mood vibrant and energetic. The increased cloud cover and relative humidity, coupled with shorter sunny days, add a different hue to the city's panorama. Yet, the balmy sea waters continue to draw marine enthusiasts. A shift in weather dynamics becomes more pronounced as the year progresses into June.

Heat index

In May, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.

Immediate damage can occur to skin and eyes if left unprotected. Always take necessary precautions. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation. Stay cautious! Sand and water reflections increase UV radiation potency.
