May weather forecast
Krakor, Cambodia

A transition towards the wet season is more evident as May progresses. Rainfall increases to reach 72mm (2.83"), making it the month with the third-highest precipitation level in the year. A minor increase in cloud cover is synonymous with the rise in precipitation. Despite higher rainfall averages, the temperature remains consistent with the previous month, making it one of the hottest intervals of the year. The weather in May fosters lush landscapes and fuels the growth of its diverse flora.

Temperature

May begins with an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 35.2°C (95.4°F), reflecting close similarity to the preceding month. Krakor's average low-temperature is measured at a warm 26.5°C (79.7°F) during May.

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 50°C (122°F). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 68%.

UV index

In Krakor, the average daily maximum UV index in May is 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In May, a daily UV index of 7 turns into the following recommendations:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
