May weather forecast
Qasam, Yemen

Entering May, Qasam starts feeling the heat more explicitly. Compared to April, May shows a significant jump with temperatures reaching peaks of 32.3°C (90.1°F). A dip in relative humidity ensures that the temperature increase does not feel overly oppressive. Coming from 12.5 hours in April, May brings more daylight up to 12.9 hours, maximizing opportunities for daytime activities. May transitions smoothly into June, seeing a steady climb in temperatures while maintaining similar humidity levels.

Temperature

The onset of May brings with it an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.3°C (90.1°F), showing a negligible variation from the month before. Qasam temperatures generally rest at a low of 26.6°C (79.9°F) during the May nights.

Heat index

During May, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 61%.

Rainfall

In Qasam, during May, the rain falls for 4.2 days and regularly aggregates up to 6mm (0.24") of precipitation. In Qasam, during the entire year, the rain falls for 41.9 days and collects up to 74mm (2.91") of precipitation.

Sunshine

The average sunshine in May is 11.9h.

UV index

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 8, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The maximum UV index of 8 during May leads to these instructions:
Always stay safe. Unprotected skin and eyes can get damaged rapidly. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
