May weather forecast
Krui, Indonesia

The last month of the autumn, May, is another tropical month in Krui, Indonesia, with an average temperature fluctuating between 22.5°C (72.5°F) and 30.3°C (86.5°F).

Temperature

Welcoming May, Krui notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.3°C (86.5°F), nearly consistent with April's 30.6°C (87.1°F). May nights are marked by an average temperature drop to an agreeable 22.5°C (72.5°F).

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Humidity

The most humid month is May, with an average relative humidity of 86%.

UV index

January, February, May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum UV index of 6 during May translates into these guidelines:
Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Outfit yourself in sun-safe attire, like long sleeves, pants, a hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses. Note! The Sun's UV radiation gets intensified with the reflection from sand and water.
