Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Pusing, is another tropical month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 22.4°C (72.3°F) and 31.7°C (89.1°F).

Temperature

As May takes hold, the average high-temperature is a still hot 31.7°C (89.1°F), nearly mirroring that of the previous month. Throughout May in Pusing, a steady low-temperature average of 22.4°C (72.3°F) is noted.

Heat index

The heat index in May is estimated at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 80%.

Rainfall

In Pusing, during May, the rain falls for 26.7 days and regularly aggregates up to 194mm (7.64") of precipitation. In Pusing, during the entire year, the rain falls for 299.4 days and collects up to 2119mm (83.43") of precipitation.

Sunshine

The average sunshine in May is 8.4h.

UV index

April through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: The daily maximum UV index of 7 in May interprets into the following advice:
Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
