Weather in May
Temperature
Al Qanayat's transition into May sees a mild rise in the average high-temperature, edging from a warm 29.8°C (85.6°F) in April to a hot 33.9°C (93°F). Contrary to the day's heat, an average low-temperature of 17.3°C (63.1°F) is recorded during the nights in May.Heat index
May's average heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
