May weather forecast
Kangxiling, China

May, the last month of the spring in Kangxiling, is a tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 24.2°C (75.6°F) and 31.3°C (88.3°F).

Temperature

With the onset of May, Kangxiling's weather sees a minor temperature rise, transitioning from a moderately hot 27.9°C (82.2°F) in April to a hot 31.3°C (88.3°F). Kangxiling's nighttime temperature in May falls to an average of 24.2°C (75.6°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in May is computed to be an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

In May, the average relative humidity is 77%.

Note: In May, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Enhance your sun protection with tightly woven, yet airy clothing.
