Weather in May

May characterizes a shift from higher temperatures to increased rainfall in Kamabai, logging a precipitation rate of 105mm (4.13"). The transition to lower temperatures contrasts with the heat sway experienced in the earlier months of the year. This change is significant as it marks the peak wet season in Kamabai, leading to heightened cloud coverage that accounts for decreased hours of sun exposure. Consequently, the increased rainfall causes a dip in visibility. Despite the switch to the wet season, wind conditions remain moderated.

May is characterized by a mild reduction in the average high-temperature, from a very hot 37.7°C (99.9°F) in April to a tropical 34.3°C (93.7°F). Kamabai, during the month of May, experiences an average low-temperature of 23.8°C (74.8°F).

Heat index

May's heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 52°C (125.6°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
