Weather in May

May, the last month of the pre-monsoon summer in Lamzawl, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 31.9°C (89.4°F) and 19.9°C (67.8°F).

Temperature

On the advent of May, Lamzawl's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a still hot 31.9°C (89.4°F) from April's 32.6°C (90.7°F). May nights bring a significant cooling from the heat of the day, with averages of 19.9°C (67.8°F).

Heat index

May's mean heat index is evaluated at a blistering 44°C (111.2°F). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 80%.

Rainfall

In May, the rain falls for 25.9 days. Throughout May, 178mm (7.01") of precipitation is accumulated. In Lamzawl, during the entire year, the rain falls for 210.2 days and collects up to 1646mm (64.8") of precipitation.

Daylight

The average length of the day in May is 13h and 17min.
On the first day of May, sunrise is at 4:42 am and sunset at 5:45 pm. On the last day of the month, sunrise is at 4:29 am and sunset at 6:00 pm IST.

Sunshine

The average sunshine in May is 8.9h.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are March through September, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The daily maximum UV index of 6 in May interprets into the following advice:
Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
