Temperature

May's climate shows a minor adjustment in average high-temperatures to a still tropical 31°C (87.8°F) from April's 30.6°C (87.1°F). Sawah experiences a consistent average temperature of 23.2°C (73.8°F) throughout the nights in May.

Heat index

During May, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
