May weather forecast
Angoram, Papua New Guinea

May brings about some noticeable changes in the Angoram weather pattern. The sunshine hours slightly increase from April's levels, complementing the wonderful scenery of the area. It is also the month with the least cloud cover, igniting the city in vibrant colors and clear skies. The temperatures hover around optimal levels for a tropical climate setting. A slight dip occurs in the total rainfall, but the environment remains well-hydrated and teeming with life.

Temperature

During May, Angoram records an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.8°C (85.6°F), marking a slight divergence from April's 29.3°C (84.7°F). Angoram's nocturnal average in May closely mirrors its daytime temperatures, settling at a still warm 25.3°C (77.5°F).

Heat index

May's mean heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 81%.

Note: The UV index of 7 during May leads to these advisories:
Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended.
