Weather in May

Come May, the weather changes dramatically as rainfall increases exponentially and the intensity of the heat during the day becomes more palpable. Despite high temperatures, the abundance of clouds and increased rainfall can result in slightly cooler conditions. Increasing humidity levels mark the progression of the wet season. The significant increase in rainfall to a rise of 187mm combined with a growth in cloud cover encapsulates the prominent features of this month's weather. As the cool winds die down slightly, May indicates the onset of the summer monsoon season in Khitokha, Bhutan.

Temperature

The transition into May notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 34°C, revealing a mild distinction from the 34.3°C in April. An average low-temperature of 23°C is anticipated throughout the nights during May.

Heat index

May's heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 46°C. Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
