May weather forecast
Amleang, Cambodia

May carries on April's momentum, retaining similar weather conditions but with a minor drop in daily highs. The weather remains largely characterized by frequent rainfall and cloud cover. Despite the resemblance to April's climatic conditions, May promotes a slightly cooler atmosphere. Consistency defines the weather in May, with a constant average temperature of 34.7°C (94.5°F) and a substantial rainfall of 112mm (4.41").

Temperature

A minimal variation is noted in Amleang's average high-temperature at the onset of May, reaching a hot 34.7°C (94.5°F) from April's 35.2°C (95.4°F). An average low-temperature of 26.3°C (79.3°F) is observed in Amleang, Cambodia, during the May nights.

Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 70%.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are January, April through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during May, leads to the following recommendations:
Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
