Temperature

May's arrival shows an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.8°C (83.8°F), hardly different from the previous month. In the month of May, Panda records a consistent average low-temperature of 21.1°C (70°F).

Heat index

During May, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with 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 'real feel' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity in Panda is 89%.

Rainfall

In Panda, in May, during 26.8 rainfall days, 157mm (6.18") of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 266.8 rainfall days, and 1778mm (70") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through September and November, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: In May, a regular UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
