Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival shows an average high-temperature of a still warm 27.4°C (81.3°F), hardly different from the previous month. Throughout the month of May, Mlawula expects an average low of 17.5°C (63.5°F).Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is appraised at a hot 30°C (86°F). One might feel worn out with persistent exposure and activity, resulting in heat cramps.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
