May signifies the onset of summer, as scorching temperatures begin to surface. Despite the escalating heat, the verdant prosperity of the city stays intact, softening the impact of the increased warmth. Accompanied by long hours of sunshine,
Andijan brims with outdoor activities and vibrant festivities. Temperatures mount steadily, but the heat seldom becomes unbearable, as gentle breezes carry a refreshing cool along. Principal climate attributes of May include Mr. Sun reigning supreme, long and sunny days pushing mercury levels to a high of 28.7°C (83.7°F).
Temperature
May shows a rise in the average high-temperature, moving from
April's 23.2°C (73.8°F) to a still warm 28.7°C (83.7°F). Andijan marks a considerable descent from the daytime apex, as the average temperature dips to a mild 14.8°C (58.6°F) at night throughout May.
Heat index
During May, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 30°C (86°F). Exhaustion might be the outcome of enduring exposure and continuous activity, with a risk of heat cramps.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
