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

Qasam experiences a subtle adjustment in high-temperatures to a still tropical 32.3°C (90.1°F) with the onset of May, maintaining near parity with April's 30.1°C (86.2°F). The average low-temperature during May nights is a warm 26.6°C (79.9°F).

Heat index

May's average heat index is computed to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Note: A daily maximum UV index of 8 in May translates into the following instructions:
Protection should always be a priority. Skin and eyes are vulnerable without it. 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. For a sun-safe wardrobe, go for clothes that are tightly woven and generously sized.
