May weather forecast
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.

Temperature

With the onset of May, the average high-temperature registers at a still hot 31.6°C (88.9°F), subtly different from April's 30.5°C (86.9°F). Registering an almost steady temperature, Kilmia's nights in May see an average low of 29.3°C (84.7°F).

Heat index

The heat index in May is computed to be a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. 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 quite important for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Note: The maximum daily UV index of 8 in May converts into the following recommendations:
Ensure you act responsibly. Without precautions, skin and eyes can suffer. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays. Heads up! The reflection of sand and water notably intensifies UV rays from the Sun.
