The last month of the autumn, May, is another tropical month in Rorotan, Indonesia, with temperature in the range of an average high of 31.2°C (88.2°F) and an average low of 26.3°C (79.3°F).

Temperature

The introduction of May sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.2°C (88.2°F), hardly deviating from April. In May, Rorotan's nights cool slightly to a consistent average temperature of 26.3°C (79.3°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during May is computed to be a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 72%.

Rainfall

The months with the lowest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: In May, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Opt for tightly woven and loose clothing to enhance protection from the Sun.
