Weather in May
Temperature
May signifies a subtle uplift in the average high-temperature, adjusting from 24.5°C (76.1°F) in April to a still warm 27.7°C (81.9°F). Au Tau, during the May nights, maintains an average temperature of 24.9°C (76.8°F), closely aligned with its daytime readings.Heat index
The average heat index in May is calculated to be a hot 32°C (89.6°F). Long-standing exposure coupled with ongoing activity could result in exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
