May, the last month of the pre-monsoon summer in Dantan, is another extremely hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 28.1°C (82.6°F) and max 40.2°C (104.4°F).

Temperature

The dawn of May sees an average high-temperature of a still blisteringly hot 40.2°C (104.4°F), subtly contrasting with April's 40.7°C (105.3°F). In stark contrast to the day's heat, the temperature dips to an average of 28.1°C (82.6°F) during May nights.

Heat index

The average heat index in May is appraised at a life-threatening hot 61°C (141.8°F). Warning: These weather conditions are deemed as overly treacherous, with heatstroke imminent.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. 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 are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

In Dantan, the average relative humidity in May is 57%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are March through June, with an average maximum UV index of 8. A UV Index estimate of 8 to 10 represents a very high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The daily maximum UV index of 8 in May interprets into the following advice:
Protection should always be a priority. Skin and eyes are vulnerable without it. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat.
