May weather forecast
Anlong Veng, Cambodia

May marks a significant transition from the prior months, with an overall temperature fall and an increase in humidity levels. However, the dominating weather feature here is the surge in rainfall, with precipitation reaching a notable 110mm (4.33"). Days with rainfall tend to increase making the landscape lush and enhancing city’s charm. These climatic conditions persist with minor fluctuations through the upcoming months.

Temperature

The beginning of May records an average high-temperature of a hot 34.5°C (94.1°F), almost echoing the conditions of the previous month. Anlong Veng's temperature in May lowers to a consistent average of 26.5°C (79.7°F) during the nights.

Heat index

For May, the heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
