Weather in May

May ensues with a continuation of the rain-soaked narrative of April. The humidity escalates, and while some might perceive this as uncomfortable, it is an integral part of the seasonal weather patterns. Reinforcing this wetter period, the number of sunshine days lessens, causing a further reduction in UV exposure. In the grand scheme of things, the considerable cloud cover provides a comforting shield against the intense sun. The subtler winds also add a more calming dynamic to this rainier period.

Temperature

As Dekoa steps into May, the average high-temperature is measured at a tropical 34.3°C (93.7°F), displaying minor differences from April's 37.1°C (98.8°F). In May, Dekoa encounters an average low-temperature of 22.6°C (72.7°F) during the night.

Heat index

In May, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 46°C (114.8°F). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. 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 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
