Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival signals a modest temperature shift, moving from a moderately hot 77.5°F (25.3°C) in April to a still warm 84.6°F (29.2°C). Angola experiences an average low-temperature of 64.8°F (18.2°C) in month of May.Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
