May weather forecastChaung-U, Myanmar

Weather in May

The last month of the spring, May, is another very hot month in Chaung-U, Myanmar, with an average temperature fluctuating between 29.3°C (84.7°F) and 38.7°C (101.7°F).

Temperature

May's climate shows a minor adjustment in average high-temperatures to a still torrid 38.7°C (101.7°F) from April's 39.6°C (103.3°F). In Chaung-U, May's nights observe an average temperature dip to a warm 29.3°C (84.7°F).

Heat index

May's heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in May is 45%.

Rainfall

In May, the rain falls for 18.2 days. Throughout May, 73mm (2.87") of precipitation is accumulated. In Chaung-U, during the entire year, the rain falls for 168.8 days and collects up to 844mm (33.23") of precipitation.

UV index

March through May, with an average maximum UV index of 8, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 8 suggests these recommendations:
Always be careful, as unprotected skin and eyes might burn in no time. 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. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
