May weather forecast
Ciputat, Indonesia

The last month of the autumn, May, is another warm month in Ciputat, Indonesia, with an average temperature ranging between max 28.8°C (83.8°F) and min 21.7°C (71.1°F).

Temperature

Ciputat experiences an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.8°C (83.8°F) in May, mirroring April's climate. In May, the temperature drops to an average of 21.7°C (71.1°F) at night.

Heat index

May's heat index is computed to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 84%.

Rainfall

In May, the rain falls for 25.7 days. Throughout May, 199mm (7.83") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 290.8 rainfall days, and 2743mm (107.99") of precipitation is accumulated.

Daylight

On the first day of May, sunrise is at 05:53 and sunset at 17:46. On the last day of the month, sunrise is at 05:57 and sunset at 17:44 WIB.

Sunshine

In Ciputat, the average sunshine in May is 8h.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. The months with the lowest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 6 in May converts into the following recommendations:
Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
