Takua Pa District,
Thailand, records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.7°C (90.9°F) as May arrives, nearly mirroring the previous month's climate. Throughout May, Takua Pa District witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 24.3°C (75.7°F).
Heat index
In May, the heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 50°C (122°F).
Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
Humidity
In May, the average relative humidity is 86%.
