Weather in May

The onset of May manifests an average high-temperature of a still very hot 35.7°C (96.3°F), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. In Hmawbon, May nights witness a remarkable decline from the day's zenith to a warm 23.1°C (73.6°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for May is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 49°C (120.2°F). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
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. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Note: An average maximum UV index of 7 in May leads to these recommendations:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. 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. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
