Weather in May

The last month of the autumn, May, is another hot month in Colo, Indonesia, with temperature in the range of an average low of 24.4°C (75.9°F) and an average high of 31.3°C (88.3°F).

Temperature

The transition into May marks the average high-temperature at a still hot 31.3°C (88.3°F), differing minimally from April's 31°C (87.8°F). Colo observes an average low-temperature of 24.4°C (75.9°F) during May nights.

Heat index

The heat index value during May is computed to be an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. 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 primarily vital for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May in Colo is 79%.

UV index

February through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: A maximum high UV index of 7 in May translates into the following recommendations:
Implement precautions and maintain sun safety methods. Avoidance of sunburn is demanded. 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. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
