Weather in May

May, the last month of the spring in Tambun, is also a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 31.7°C (89.1°F) and min 22.4°C (72.3°F).

Temperature

The arrival of May brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.7°C (89.1°F), closely following the temperature pattern of April. Throughout May, a steady low-temperature average of 22.4°C (72.3°F) is noted.

Heat index

The average heat index in May is computed to be an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 80%.

Rainfall

In May, the rain falls for 26.7 days. Throughout May, 194mm (7.64") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 299.4 rainfall days, and 2119mm (83.43") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index in Tambun are April through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: An average UV index of 7 in May transforms into this advice:
Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
