Weather in May
Temperature
The advent of May brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 27.4°C (81.3°F), almost identical to the preceding month. Khar Yalla reports a consistent average low-temperature of 21.9°C (71.4°F) throughout May nights.Heat index
During May, the heat index is appraised at a tropical 30°C (86°F). With ongoing exposure and activity, one might experience weariness, and heat cramps could ensue.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
