May weather forecast
Jerudong, Brunei

The highest high temperature of 31.3°C (88.3°F) dominates the weather conversation for May. A sustained humidity level, similar to that of April, governs the overall daily weather atmosphere. A rise in the volume of rainfall is notable, which prompts the balancing act between the anticipated summer and existing tropical climate. An optimal visibility continues to provide excellent driving conditions. Even with these conditions, the UV index stays uniform, indicating a need for regular sun protection.

During May and June, Jerudong experiences its highest average temperatures, peaking at 31.3°C (88.3°F).

Heat index

In May, the average heat index is calculated to be a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Act on precautions and pay attention to sun safety recommendations. Avoidance of sunburn is obligatory. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
