Weather in May
Temperature
Salelologa's average high-temperature in May is a still warm 28.3°C (82.9°F), indicating a subtle variation from April. Salelologa's May nights exhibit a subtle drop in temperature, averaging at a still warm 27°C (80.6°F), closely aligned with the daytime highs.Heat index
In May, the average heat index is estimated at a tropical 32°C (89.6°F). With sustained exposure and activity, exhaustion becomes probable, resulting in heat cramps.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.

Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half. Stay alert! Reflective properties of sand and water amplify the Sun's UV radiation.
