May weather forecast
Little Aden, Yemen

May proceeds to turn up the heat dial in Little Aden. Weather turns decidedly tropical with only the slimmest precipitation measuring at a sparse 1mm (0.04"). A significant leap in temperature, where 34.1°C (93.4°F) marks the monthly high, validates the intensifying summer. Sunscreen becomes a vital accessory during this time, given the increased sunshine hours. As drought-prone conditions set-in, water conservation endeavours take precedence.

Temperature

The dawn of May sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 34.1°C (93.4°F), subtly contrasting with April's 32.2°C (90°F). Little Aden observes an average nighttime temperature of 27.7°C (81.9°F) during May.

Heat index

The heat index in May is appraised at a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke is a potential danger with continued physical activity.
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 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
