Intense rainfall takes centre stage with a whopping 107mm (4.21"), making May one of the wettest months of the year. Daylight extends to 13.1 hours, the annual high, but the abundance of cloud cover reduces the overall sunshine hours. As the night temperature does not fall below 20°C (68°F), the nights remain warm. Moving into June, the monsoon's peak phase will bring even heavier showers and higher humidity levels.

Temperature

The average high-temperature is a still tropical 31.3°C (88.3°F) in May, hardly different from the 32.9°C (91.2°F) recorded in April. An average low-temperature of 20.7°C (69.3°F) is anticipated throughout the nights in Ban Nangeun, Laos, during May.

Heat index

Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
