Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Parapat, is a tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 30.9°C (87.6°F) and 21.3°C (70.3°F).

Temperature

The advent of May denotes an average high-temperature of a tropical 30.9°C (87.6°F), subtly different from April's 29.9°C (85.8°F). Throughout the month of May, Parapat sees a steady low-temperature average of 21.3°C (70.3°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in May is computed to be an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 81%.

Rainfall

In Parapat, during May, the rain falls for 25.8 days and regularly aggregates up to 171mm (6.73") of precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 299.9 rainfall days, and 2367mm (93.19") of precipitation is accumulated.

Sunshine

In May, the average sunshine is 8.4h.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are January through June, August through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The UV index of 6 during May translates into the following guidance:
Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
