May marks the beginning of
Khasab's notably hot season as temperatures climb to their annual apexes in spite of the slightly increased rainfall of 2mm (0.08"). The climate remains warm and dry throughout the day and well into the evenings. Despite the high temperatures, the relative humidity levels remain constant. The lengthy daylight hours enable an abundance of outdoor activities. Consequently, May successfully encapsulates the essence of Khasab's summer with its high temperatures and extended sunlight.
Temperature
May comes with a subtle rise, with the average high-temperature adjusting from a hot 33.5°C (92.3°F) in
April to a fiery hot 37.8°C (100°F). An average low-temperature of 27.9°C (82.2°F) is observed during May nights in Khasab,
Oman.
Heat index
The heat index in May is appraised at a burning hot 54°C (129.2°F).
Stay on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Ongoing effort can cause heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. 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. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
Humidity
