Weather in May
Temperature
The start of May brings a subtle shift in the average high-temperature, edging up from April's warm 78.1°F (25.6°C) to a still moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C). Kalem, during the nights of May, registers a substantial plunge from the daytime high, averaging at a comfortable 62.6°F (17°C).Heat index
In May, the average heat index is estimated at a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. 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 quite important for children. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
